lyrics

Grace opened up the paper: Tom was dead so was his darling. They both fell into the river dressed like ghosts on halloween. The pier was damn near empty, except a homeless couple woken up by splashin’. Grace folded up the paper, lay down and took an aspirin, called her mother the next morning, and went to work. The news hurt. Wasn’t it giving only hints? There’s glaucoma in the fortune teller’s eye. It had been a joke, it was a disguise, but it paid the bills so it became her life.

When Tom first fell in love he was a tall kid who laughed easy. Balogna sandwich in his trumpet case and two jokes ‘bout his missing tooth––the first one was easy. He’d say, “I can’t remember where I put it all those years ago.” He saved the other one for tough old guys drinking on their patio. He’d say, “You shoulda seen the other guy!” and he’d smack his fist, look devilish... oh god life can be easy.

Now carnies bolt together the Pukifier 370TM. Grace mans the booth. She sells tickets, makes small talk to cover up the crickets. And then she does her trick. It was a cinch (a hole in one from fifty yards). She’d soak the bozo in the dunking tank. She had made her life as dull as paint and she never fed the hungry things inside, so she wished she’d been the lunatic who died.
