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've 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 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."
