Life of a Wife

Noticing the life of a wife
One’s true desire and your real friend
Mother of the wicked and the saved
Oh Mary in the area of phones
Preoccupied with all dreams taken
Fallen you to nowhere
In the garden into planting
Flowers from the last night
Hours from our past lives going down
Down through all the ages
Those that we slept through
Accessories to the grapevine though
I know it’s a long way home
I know you’re suggesting
Drinks for the good times
Drinks to all of us
Noticing the life of a wife
Noticing how east coast traffic blows
To score more in the cake wars, I suppose
That’s right, you don’t even think about it though
