no not on my funeral suit- thats the last time im going to a wetherspoons

A Poem by Everett Dulin

i reckon that i dont know
what could be said
we're all numb and cold
i dont remember where i come from
what will my story hold?
 
all of my friends
are lost to dreams and snow
and i have my lucid moments
from all those years ago
its bad when you miss it
its worse when you know
 
the overdosed friends
only mentioned in lyrics
an obituary's just another song
masked behind the crowds grieving
 
i have a funeral suit
i pretend to be profound
every terror has meaning,
and meaning is terrible
if it looks like it did
so many years ago

 
ideation has melody
and it sounds better as a song
you can iron your suit
but you cant ever put it on
 
booze doesnt roll cleanly 
off our rental trophies of growth
stains are our stories
and bent pillar friends
dont wear suits at all
 
and you can iron your suit,
but you will never put it back on
