Memory s Stain

Memorys stain appeared to you in the bath
Memorys stain, body laundered, Soul it hath

I have a confession
in the form of a question:
How could you entertain
trading know-how for a stain?

Look now, Im no better
Look now, our thrift sweater
pulled over you

Look now, how wide are the holes!
Look now, the power it holds
over you

Well, Ill be damned!
A calf is easy to brand

Memorys stain; youre not content with my answer
Memorys stain; on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer

Youre not bored, just sleep deprived
drunk on jealousy and pride
Boozing is the highest aim
when spittle wont get out Memorys stain

Look now, Im no better
Look now, our thrift sweater
pulled over you

Look now, how wide are the holes!
Look now, the power it holds
over you

Well, Ill be damned!
A calf is easy to brand
