Weary Progress

It was a nervous little shudder, <br>I was thinking of my mother,<br>I was making up excuses, <br>I was sorry, sore, no intimacy.<br>Cradlecap and funny sports and thin.<br>I miss my daughter`s breath.<br>What really sticks it in <br>are the cold spots in the bed.<br><br>Like everybody in the world, <br>I want to be misunderstood.<br>Likable, creepy, <br>underrated, braggart, <br>busy, really good.<br>It`s weary progress.<br><br>I yell, I get frustrated, I scream.<br>Drunk brother painting bare rooms.<br>Christmas trees are scary things at 2 a.m and<br>foolish lips are all the way in Boston, <br>but they`re sounding pretty good.<br><br>Like everybody in the world, I want to be<br>misunderstood.<br>Likable, creepy,<br>underrated, braggart, <br>busy, really good.<br>It`s weary progress.
