Almost seven years ago
I saw you at a funeral
I keep the program in a box at home
Suspended like a sinking stone
And everyone is from somewhere
My midwest town, my love affairs
But we’ll forget we ever cared
Buried deep, barely there, barely there
It catches you off-guard
When the Amtrak drops you in the dark
The river swallowed up some kid
My dad dove in to rescue him
It’s just a hometown exodus
When I was only 14
The sticky leather of his varsity, his suv
He said there’s nothin’ to do outside Kansas City
I didn’t want to, but I let him kiss me in the backseat
And everyone is from somewhere
My midwest town, my disrepair
There are moments that I’ll never share
Buried deep, and barely there
You have to wake up pissed
When the rapist gets a scholarship
And money makes you braver
One day he’ll run for mayor
It’s just hometown behavior
And I have too much empathy for people who don’t need it
I have a lot to say, but I’ll keep it like a secret
Fuck you fuck you fuck you I’ll say it til I mean it
If I say it then I mean it
