• Passing Through A Screen Door

Cigarette smoke
dances back in the window
and I can see
the haze on the dome light.
I’m conjuring ghosts
on a forty-hour ride home.
And they keep asking me
what I’m doing with my life,
while my cousins go to bed with their wives.
I’m feeling like I’ve fallen behind.

Well the highway won.
I’m listening to traffic reports,
one on one,
coming quietly undone.
I was born to run
away from anything good—an escape artist’s son
with sun-drenched pavement in my blood.
The first thing that I do when I walk in
is plan a way out for when shit gets bad and

I’ve been looking for
tears in the screen door.
(tears in the screen door)
I’ve been waiting for
another disaster.
(another disaster)

I’m terrified
like a kid in the sixties,
staring at the sky
waiting for the bomb to fall.
And it’s all a lie,
what they say about stability.
It scares me sometimes,
the emptiness I see in my eyes.
All the kid’s names
I’ve ever liked
are tied to tragedy
and I don’t want my children
growing up to be
anything like me.

I’ve been looking for
tears in the screen door.
(tears in the screen door)
I’ve been waiting for
another disaster
(another disaster)
but I was kind of hoping you’d stay.
I was kind of hoping you’d stay.

I keep a flashlight and a small knife
in the corner of my bed stand.
I keep a flashlight and the train times,
but you wouldn’t understand.
How could you understand?
Jesus Christ.
I’m 26.
All the people I graduated with
all have kids,
all have wives,
all have people who care if they come home at night.
Well Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?

I’ve been looking for
tears in the screen door.
(tears in the screen door)
I’ve been waiting for
another disaster
(another disaster)
but I was kind of hoping you’d stay.
I was kind of hoping you’d stay.
I was kind of hoping you’d stay.
