Your Mom's Ashtray

where the men fix the lawnmower.
and where the women hold court.
the kids sing songs
and it always seems like the sun is setting.

death is a wish.
left in a cocktail glass.
forgotten by Lindas.
ignored by Davids.

shrimp cocktails.
and deleted notes.
plus vodka sodas.
for grandma billy.

let's stretch this thing out.
because this dead person loved to pout.
and smoked cigs.
before that was a thing.

my moshing knees are something different.
and your taxes are your business.
uncle Ro will be a bitch.
but meet meet me in the alley of my heart.
