I moved out of his bed today to the room down at the end of the hall

don’t keep it warm for me

he moved out of my heart long ago

like a poet’s words sprung from the blank page

but like my unborn children

he wasn’t every really there

(a laugh) – been around the block? Forget about goin’ ‘round the block; I’ve been around the
world

tryin’ to keep this warm

and my friends on babys 2 and 3

I had a dream the other night – that I could fly up outta my middle class rage

Just tryin’ to keep my shit warm

Keep it inside our four walls I was always told (tilt my head to the right), brought up that
way

And now my four walls, my four walls couldn’t ever be high enough to keep my shit from
leakin’ out and from getting’ everything ugly
Gotta stop keepin’ it warm

I moved out of his bed today but he moved out of my heart long ago

(a laugh) – through sickness and in health? He couldn’t even tie my shoes when my belly
was past the point of seeing the light of day
