She Sends Kisses

Ten tons against me and you've gone
I put your favorite records on
And sit around
It spins around
And you're around again

Struck dumb while drugs run at how-high reeds
Cue every memory at half-speeds

Just like Charles, hold-me-downs, I'm coming sounds
Cut crap, who's filling shoes like these anymore?

She sends kisses. I know it’s hard
Hope this card helps you

Past clumsy crushes beneath Thrill Pier
Hopes pinned to poses honed in men's room mirrors

A Sophomore at Brown
She worked Lost & Found
I put your face on her all year

Five rows of photos when you wrote
Of posed you, dressed blue, a backyard boat

Signed at the bottom with this quote:
"Number four North Shore", A Cape May address
Your new one I guess "All's well in Hell and all, here's hoping'

She sends kisses, yeah
Some signed "with Love, Beth O and X's"
She sends kisses, yeah
Our oldest joke
Some signed three 6's

Our shore town knockdown sure was fun
Yeah, white trash, what have you
I fired replies back gun by gun
Past seven wrecks I read four answers: "Your move
I'm tres involved, move on, love Beth"

I walk it down
This tourist town
'Just thought I'd call 'just friends'

She Sends kisses
And all at once back doors blow open
She sends kisses
In envelopes stamped with 'Hope and Hearts'
Ripped right open
She sends kisses
But I'm corrupt
I wrote back 'good luck.'
