Lyrics:
My mother found a rabid dog And wanted to hug it Wanted to give it all her glorious honey love Wanted to bathe her children in a two-parent household But, the dog didn't want kids The dog would scream it in the hallway at four A. M Reminding us as often as possible The sheer art of it How the monster could panic into my body Sometimes I still hear it in the chambers of my heart The way some glorious paintings stay with you I am a museum I must be a museum When I was seven, the dog told me I was going to be a slut No one came over to our house to play The dog made me write, "I will flush the toilet seventy-five times" I would've remembered to flush the toilet But, I started blacking out around then Forgetting basic things Started praying that Oprah would save us all I took snapshots with my memory camera Hoping there would be justice for this kind of "psyco-warfare" The teachers at the daycare offered apology eyes and extra sequence For the art project The day after, the dog chased me around each room Because I forgot where my other shoe was When you are a child And your mind is panicked like a fire alarm at all time You lose the ability to remember simple things I haven't lost a personal item in months Do not laugh when I say, 'This is a victory' Shame is an ocean I swim across Sometimes, I call it drowning Sometimes, I call it Moses Sometimes, I say, "Good morning!" and swade through its murky surge Sometimes, I win and cut off its crest with a pink machete Sometimes, I want to fuck it and Marry it and kill it all at the same time Sometimes, I spend my whole day apologizing on shame's behalf Sometimes, I think it must be an art form to feel this bad Sometimes, I outrun all of its psyco-history Other times, I repeat the language from my child mouth While beating my head against a wall But all the time I am forgiven
