Endangered Birds from Quitters by Christian Lee Hutson

California’s beautiful
I bet some people don’t think so
I take a lap around the hotel
I take a picture of myself
You changed your hair, changed your name
Your accent people can’t quite place
Second marriage, couple of kids
You say it isn’t different but it is
I’m peaking through the bandages
To see if I can handle it
I hope I don’t remember this
I hope I don’t forget again
Endangered birds, the birthday girl
Wasting wishes on this world
Remember airplane bottles in our pockets
Pissing on my only options
Now you’re rubbing rosebuds in between your wrists
And I am an embarrassment
Shirt and tie, like pulling teeth
He’s everything I’ll never be
I’m peaking through the bandages
To see if I can handle it
I hope I don’t remember this
I hope I don’t forget again
