about

based on "One More For the People" by Martha Grover

lyrics

I've got an orange sweatshirt; I found it on the sidewalk
I wear it to the hospital every time I go
I missed your party 'cause I had to inject myself
Put the on back in hormones

Rachael's on the cruise ship faking smiles for rich folks
Mikey is home and he won't mow the lawn
I was in the bathroom for three hours today
It's a job I can't walk out on

I feel like the moon is wiping its face on me
and fruits replace my organs one by one
One day I'm gonna spit up a kind of cherry with no pits
and the next day I will shit out tiny suns

I've got an orange sweatshirt; I wear it to the hospital
I joke with the man who does my MRI
Here's the good news: I'm no longer dying
but it's a lot of work to be alive

Some nights I pretend that my insomnia's a bear
and if I lie still, then it will wander away
Some nights, anyways, it patiently waits by my window
and it holds up a sour grass bouquet
