Politics Of Grooming - Slaughter Beach, Dog[00:00:01]

Written by：Jake Ewald[00:00:05]

I know the you when you are getting dressed[00:00:06]

Is not the you I've really come to know[00:00:11]

She speaks in shorter phrases[00:00:17]

And she often can't remember[00:00:19]

Which impulsive words were emitted as response[00:00:22]

But it's not as selfish or as spanned attention[00:00:28]

Rather preference for the politics of grooming[00:00:34]

Hell I'd paint my face and fingers[00:00:39]

And my toes and lips and eyelids[00:00:42]

If it meant tonight I didn't have to think about the future[00:00:45]

Just to fixate my attention on a wooden powder pencil[00:00:51]

Not a single thought devoted[00:00:56]

To whatever's on outside the house[00:00:59]

Or even past the door your mother's bathroom[00:01:03]

Where we're sitting[00:01:06]

And surviving on the steadiness of passing time[00:01:08]

So when the lines are drawn and all the powders matted[00:01:14]

You'll be standing there blinking at your image[00:01:19]

And you wished that it would turn around[00:01:25]

And do what it's supposed to[00:01:28]

But reflections do not turn themselves away[00:01:31]

When you were younger and your mother started drinking[00:01:40]

She would tuck you in and close your bedroom door[00:01:45]

Then one day you sprung awake[00:01:51]

Inside a turning twisted dream[00:01:53]

And you ran downstairs to find her laying out across the floor[00:01:56]

She did not hear you softly crying near[00:02:02]

Or feel your mouth all hot against her ear[00:02:08]

So you kissed her like she taught you[00:02:14]

And for the first time on a you got up[00:02:16]

And tucked your own self in the bed[00:02:20]

So when the lines are drawn and all the powders matted[00:02:25]

You'll be standing there blinking at your image[00:02:31]

And you wished that it would turn around[00:02:37]

And do what it's supposed to[00:02:39]

But reflections do not turn themselves away[00:02:42]

Yeah you wished that you would turn around[00:02:48]

And do what you're supposed to[00:02:51]

But it's easier to blink and stare and stay[00:02:54]
