[Every answering machine...]

Every answering machine
greeting sounds the same,

like a mulligan I pissed away in a sand trap.

I thought
I told you
I was raking.

The years pass on a slow
decline, that is to say --

we have had better. But we don't remember.

We're not
as greedy
as we seem.

You don't bring me flowers
anymore, though, you never

did. The audience is tired from the constant

droning. I lost
the nerve
to believe.

Darling, we've been through
this. If you want to fuck me,

you should know: I was lost then, and I'm lost

now. I'm just dying
for you to tell me
where to go.
