My ex with the genius of a musician
With the hands of a craftsman
With the mouth of a harp
My ex with the blood of Ohio
With the stubbornness of Sally his mother
And the stability of Joe his dad
My ex with the crooked tooth in the upper right of his lying mouth
My ex with the desire to travel the roads of the twenty-somethings
My ex with the late night stints and gigs that take him there
My ex with the needs of a poor man
The greed of a man not so sure of his limits
My ex with baggage of a street pusher
My ex with carts of symbols of love gone awry
My ex with remorse
My ex with guilt
My ex with the stupidity of a bird that's flown into a racing sports vehicle
My ex with the right of passage to the wind
