"Loving father, friend, and son",
printed backwards
on my shoulderblade
from leaning back on a
plaque on a bench.
I carry David's name until
it fades.
Why does it feel significant?
Why do I have to tell you
about it?
Trying to fall asleep.
Back flat on the floor,
while you are eating continental
breakfast in Singapore.
You make me homesick for
places I've never been before.
How'd you do that?
How's tomorrow so far?
Meeting your family was a trip,
seeing what you got from them,
for better or worse,
a blessing and a curse.
You don't need to love them, but you do.
You can take off a year or two.
We'll all be here when you get back.
When you told me 'bout your new man,
it wasn't news,
'cause you've got all these mannerisms
that you never do,
like rolling your eyes and laughing real dry,
like you were trying him on for size.
Even if it doesn't fit,
you'll wear it,
'cause if it's what you want,
you're gonna get it.
I've heard this anecdote
at least a dozen times.
Yeah, I know every word and
inflection as if it were mine.
I like watching you win
over a new crowd.
You can make 'em go wild,
you can leave 'em spellbound
But you will never be
famous to me.
You will never be
famous to me.
I should know my neighbor's names.
I should not stay up so late.
Modigliani melancholy got me
long in the face.
But I feel better when you call,
just to tell me how you are.
How'd you do that?
How's tomorrow so far?
You make me homesick for places
I've never been before.
How'd you do that?
How's tomorrow so far?
