Momma lives by the sea
in an adobe brick colored green
Wooden walls and open doors
Magazines on closet floors

I woke up hard pressed
against the mattress
I ...
knew from gymnasium gossip
that this would happen
I ...
felt stretched
beyond capacity
I ...
woke up wet hard pressed
between the sheets and me

So I spent more time
with my step dad
volunteering for chores
so I could get
closer to those
Wooden walls and open doors
And when he left
to go to the store
I ran across the floor to
get to those magazines on closet floors

I knew before hand
before I knew
That with those magazines
I knew what to do
Like the Grinch's heart
It grew and grew
I'd die of embarrassment
if anyone knew

So I spent more time
with my step dad
volunteering for chores
so I could get
closer to those
Wooden walls and open doors
And when he left
to go to the store
I ran across the floor to
get to those magazines on closet floors
magazines on closet floors
magazines on closet floors
