Connie's Got A New Phone

Now pushing forty, living in Cleveland
Reciting headlines, donates to Oxfam
Working at Green Earth, he tries to guilt her
«No functioning adult should own a pet lizard»
Connie’s got a new phone
Connie’s got a new phone
They rent a duplex, maintain a garden
He grinds his teeth to dust, she watches reruns
Nursing some box wine, nursing a black eye
She’s too afraid to leave, but no, she’s not afraid of dying
Connie’s got a new phone
Connie’s got a new phone
And I don’t care at all
Connie’s got a new phone
And I don’t car at all
Connie’s got a new phone
Conni’s fallen to pieces
A nagging cavity
Connie’s fallen to pieces
Decayed amenities
