There's a saltwater film[00:00:00]

On the jar of your ashes[00:00:03]

I threw them to sea[00:00:05]

But a gust blew them backwards[00:00:08]

And the sting in my eyes[00:00:10]

Which you then inflicted[00:00:14]

Was par for the course[00:00:15]

Just as when you were living[00:00:17]

It's no stretch to say[00:00:21]

You were not quite a father[00:00:23]

But a donor of seeds[00:00:25]

To a poor single mother[00:00:28]

That would raise us alone[00:00:30]

We never saw the money[00:00:34]

That went down your throat[00:00:35]

Through the hole in your belly[00:00:37]

Thirteen years old[00:01:01]

In the suburbs of Denver[00:01:03]

Standing in line[00:01:05]

For Thanksgiving dinner[00:01:10]

At the Catholic church[00:01:11]

The servers wore crosses[00:01:12]

To shield from the sufferance[00:01:16]

Plaguing the others[00:01:18]

Styrofoam plates cafeteria tables[00:01:22]

Charity reeks of cheap wine and pity[00:01:24]

And I'm thinking of you[00:01:29]

I do every year[00:01:35]

When we count all our blessings[00:01:40]

And wonder what we're doing here [00:01:42]

You're a disgrace[00:03:34]

To the concept of family[00:03:34]

The priest won't divulge[00:03:35]

That fact in his homily[00:03:36]

And I'll stand up and scream[00:03:38]

If the mourning remain quiet[00:03:39]

You can deck out a lie[00:03:40]

In a suit but I won't buy it[00:03:43]

I won't join in the procession[00:03:45]

That's speaking their peace[00:03:48]

Using five-dollar words[00:03:50]

While praising his integrity[00:03:51]

And just 'cause he's gone[00:03:56]

It doesn't change the fact[00:03:57]

He was a bastard in life[00:04:00]

Thus a bastard in death[00:04:02]
