about

This, the first song on the album, was actually recorded last; it held up the release of this album for more than a year (I really didn't want to write it).

lyrics

DEPENDENT I

The moment of creation is private performance:
a lap dance, a strip show, I’m drinking bold
coffee. She’s hanging with her mom. This type-
writer eats holes in the page, like this tongue
eats holes in her pussy, like this meth-
amphetamine eats holes in her cheeks where
whiskey leaks down onto her chin, her neck,
her chest necklace. Rotten teeth in the roof
of her mouth -- mouth to mouth -- she is dying
on the table, on the couch. We dig our own tomb
stone epigraph into marbled
paper. Her syllables scream into the empty

She is the runt
that uttered,
there, under
her mother’s teat:
“Eat, eat.”
But sour nature
turns milk
to sour nurture.
