We look for the meaning now
Lamenting the Styrofoam embrace of our coffee
And the young male teen walkin’ by talkin’
Tough like he knows strength
Someone saying I’d like to teach
The little shit a lesson
They mean that in a good way
*
In a hot vein moment we snarly jointly
At the Bosnia slaughter and I ask
What did we mean when we said never again
And minutes later coming home from
The day you point out a majestic tree and slow
The truck in awe never mind the tire screech behind us
I mean that in a good way
*
On the job we crank to high standards
Your shuffling pace spots the missed nick
The unfinished sweep the ugly table we moved
To paint a room muttering lit fuse quick
Before telling me my sanded walls look good
You mean that in a good way
*
Then our phone talk connection across
The landscape of our ripped childhoods
With minds and hearts bleeding
To the bump and grind of abuse
And our little boys met
And I’m damn glad they did
I mean that in a good way
*
