Waded out into the tide
Stung by jellyfish & died
Left a wife & child behind
Ages 36 & 9
Christmas morning pictures fading tinsel glare
Kim how long you gonna stare
Never sleep without a light
Hate aquariums alright
Older boyfriends all your life
& usually they have a wife
Blame yourself blame your mother blame the sea
Blame a lover blame psychiatry
To never know what kind of man your father’d be How you’d wished he’d kept a diary
