about

immediately made after returning from summer travels.

when i think of it, i see my old neighbors trampoline.

this is the trampoline where i first got hives from being cold, a problem that still pops up.

though it's not about hives at all.

the end is the only real reference.

my great grandmother, who half-raised me used to have an orange container filled with molasses cookies.

as a fat child, i was always munching on them.
she would give me coffee to accompany the cookies.
she smoked virginia slims.


the rest is history.

lyrics

will bill ever really walk again?
his legs are built like broth
and his stories are crippling.
i heard mother calling him
from a bullhorn in the bathroom.
i am afraid the hill is too big
i don't even think the sound got to him.

sister shelly is out back
fantasizing on a rocky mountain swing set
and the neighbors are upset.

she needs a therapist,
so she insists.
doesn't seem to me that
that's what she needs
bouncing on that trampoline
so free and so high.

sister shelly is out back
fantasizing a rocky mountain sunset
and the neighbors are obsessed.

grandmothers molasses cookies
there in the orange bin
with some coffee to dip them in
