Mom And Dad

I caught mom and dad making out

realizing for the first time they were human

they were outside it was summer

they were clearly insane

and I peered from behind the curtains



mom wore a long black dress

and dad had his blue jean shirt on

I'd woken up from a dream

and I couldn't go back to sleep



cutting class in the first grade

what do you make of that

my life was run by books and television

running manic down the stairs

at the age of eight

where do all these memories fit in



stealing pornography

caught with my pants on my feet

I'm still stuck somewhere between

who I was and who I wanted to be



my god it's coming out

I can't stop feeling now

whatever made me wait this long

I am still the same

but in a different way

whatever whatever it all remains
