hey lady light a candle because i’m on the road again
i’ve mislaid the pope’s st. chris 3x
but the mojo seems to be working
because i haven’t been arrested yet
i met a guy who reminds me of jesus
so i am recreating the myth of mary
and anointing him with oils
i realized on this day in the year of our lord 2016
that there was a moment you set me down and
never picked me up again
it took an ocean to cut the chord
but i do not want to be a disappointment
as i stumble around a foreign place
thumbing a madman’s mother’s rosary
our lady of perpetual worry
fear not for all the bs i sling in your direction
at least i can do it in three tongues and various media
oh mother
i wanted to ride on a riverboat, touch the statue of liberty, and be an artist
at least i accomplished the latter
