my dad makes money but my mother pays the bills
she always tells him when to take his pills
he keeps them in a box marked with letters of the week
she wears a mask to help her breathing when she sleeps
when they go out you know they love to laugh and fight
they bicker and they bitch about which left is right
but they always find out where they going to
and they still worry bout what i'm gonna do
oh they're stable
steady as a table
and i'll be fine, ma
i'm able
try to be kind and be true and don't drown in expectations
patience. every day's a lesson
i feel good when i'm laughing, i relax in the evening
taking it easy, counting my blessings
and it's not often i get lost in boston
cause i know this city like a dead man knows his coffin
i write a song or two and every now and then
some kind-hearted woman shows me love and takes me in
oh i'm stable
steady as a table
and i'll be fine, ma
i'm able
and it's all right
ain't no rush
i like to walk and take the bus
i don't need much
i take my time
i do just fine
still showing up
every day
every year
i see more clearly
i'm still here
i'm awake
i'm aware

jack used to write hard
sweating out the words
poring over sheets of paper
thrived in the margins
of textbooks and notebooks
passion pain and anger
that was before bedtime computers
late night job
and a burnt out brain
impatient energy
instant impulse gratification
now he's a lone shark
swimming in the shallows
biting his own tail
drinks as he breathes
and sinks to the bed
and heaves when he exhales
these are the days of noise and confusion
this is a long distance fall
cameras are everywhere
your private delusions
are posted on my wall
i say let's go far
leave them where they are
move on
we'll sleep in the car
i say let's go
sweat stains the mattress
panic and darkness
are banished by the light of the tv screen
alone in his hovel
stoned in a gassy bubble
rank and rancid dreams
festering in existential
apathetic obscurity
withering unwritten pages
left untitled
