A Watery Day

The day I lost my virginity
I made a pot of chicken noodle soup
Cracked the eggs into a swirling mess
I ate half and I chucked the rest

The day the doctor gave me pills
I smirked like a kid with chewing gum
As if the plague was a college acceptance
Or the memory of a brilliant threesome

A letter came in from St. Germain
My mother washed away by two weeks of rain
The Singer took away my family
But all I felt were his glowin’ arms around me

During Easter dinner, the dog died
And I failed, I failed, I failed
And I couldn’t even lift the spade
