My Sister My Spouse

My sister my spouse Are you comfortable with these words? To me they still seem to jingle like a pair of a badman’s spurs My sister my spouse you’re burning at both ends      I said "Is there a fire on the mountain?" You replied "Well that all depends." You know our parent’s heroes are all movie actors             Necks tilted up to the angel of light I can admit to the same allure They say movies deal with archetypes You know I’ll try on any mask    Brother Son Husband             A separate face for separate tasks Death-card Scorpio Little devil Villain is obviously most fun    Singer Poet Publicman           Well easier said than done Do-nothing Roop-scoop Mooch Hell I can take it              Loyal friend and confident        Honey i could never fake it "My sister my spouse": Rules of engagement!             You’ve been working so hard       We need a change I can take a hint Write down on these tears of newspaper words you would like to see disappear Let ash fly above the rusty stovetop I’m going to start with the word "sincere" My sister my spouse
