The Bedside Manor

Play it back for me one more time

because you said you would---

oh so long ago

so very long ago

I liked to dance with dead people

because they respected me more

and I never had to explain myself

and because I would never dissipate---

in their eyes

I liked to ride in the black buggy and look down on a hot mess---

with the sight of people I never got the chance to know

enjoying a monotonous dinner I always wanted to be invited to

such is the thought of happily ever after

here

in their happiest place on Earth
