Untitled 4 from Everything & Nothing by Tanner Bingaman's Pretty Big Garden

The universe is an old patient mother
to another, and yet another
my self esteem’s a wet torn paper
but you patch me up
unlike the others

If I die in Perry County
swear you won't go posting bounty
lay me down, lay me low
singing old mountain songs
old mountain songs

The universe is a schizophrenic stripper
she's studying astrochemistry and quantum physics
you and I we're just random digits
we’re studying kitchen kisses
and kitchen kisses

If I die in Perry County
swear you won't go posting bounty
lay me down, lay me low
singing old mountain songs
old mountain songs
