[00:00:01] Politics Of Grooming - Slaughter Beach, Dog

[00:00:05] Written by：Jake Ewald

[00:00:06] I know the you when you are getting dressed

[00:00:11] Is not the you I've really come to know

[00:00:17] She speaks in shorter phrases

[00:00:19] And she often can't remember

[00:00:22] Which impulsive words were emitted as response

[00:00:28] But it's not as selfish or as spanned attention

[00:00:34] Rather preference for the politics of grooming

[00:00:39] Hell I'd paint my face and fingers

[00:00:42] And my toes and lips and eyelids

[00:00:45] If it meant tonight I didn't have to think about the future

[00:00:51] Just to fixate my attention on a wooden powder pencil

[00:00:56] Not a single thought devoted

[00:00:59] To whatever's on outside the house

[00:01:03] Or even past the door your mother's bathroom

[00:01:06] Where we're sitting

[00:01:08] And surviving on the steadiness of passing time

[00:01:14] So when the lines are drawn and all the powders matted

[00:01:19] You'll be standing there blinking at your image

[00:01:25] And you wished that it would turn around

[00:01:28] And do what it's supposed to

[00:01:31] But reflections do not turn themselves away

[00:01:40] When you were younger and your mother started drinking

[00:01:45] She would tuck you in and close your bedroom door

[00:01:51] Then one day you sprung awake

[00:01:53] Inside a turning twisted dream

[00:01:56] And you ran downstairs to find her laying out across the floor

[00:02:02] She did not hear you softly crying near

[00:02:08] Or feel your mouth all hot against her ear

[00:02:14] So you kissed her like she taught you

[00:02:16] And for the first time on a you got up

[00:02:20] And tucked your own self in the bed

[00:02:25] So when the lines are drawn and all the powders matted

[00:02:31] You'll be standing there blinking at your image

[00:02:37] And you wished that it would turn around

[00:02:39] And do what it's supposed to

[00:02:42] But reflections do not turn themselves away

[00:02:48] Yeah you wished that you would turn around

[00:02:51] And do what you're supposed to

[00:02:54] But it's easier to blink and stare and stay
