Gruesome Details
John Vanderslice
Leave the tv on,
and tell me again
why you left your dad in portland
without a word
is it what I expect?
I won’t even guess
everybody’s got screwed up stories
everybody’s got gruesome details
but you’ll never get mine
cuz it’s not that bad
it could never justify my life
I used to feel
I was improving my position
acting as my own physician
really getting better all the time
