Her Middle Name Was Boom - Glassjaw

She cured the plague of the holy child

and all the while

she just walked in and boom!

she said

in her room with her red fingernails

and a grip on the answers.

When it’s home

and I’m broken, let’s fix.

When it’s home

and I’m swollen, let’s kiss.

When it’s home

and we’re walking, she’ll lead

If she’s waiting, we’ll leave.

I’m so gracious.

If you touch it it’s cold.

If you drop it it breaks.

If you hold it it shakes.

Boom!

she said.

My name’s I Dare.

All the while…
