After The Church

" ____ will____will not be able to attend "

For Meaghan and Philip, August 20, 2005

Something old and cold

poured down the ice swan’s throat

on the sultry veranda

into a fine glass with olive

Something new abrew in the garden

with lesbian photographers from Queens

Something borrowed from a sonnet

made father fear and tremble and

think he might go back to church.

Something blue between us two

left alone at the table.

“Our minister didn’t care to visit

but Father Larry made it sound

like he’d known him all his life.”

"It's a perfect pander!" lol

*Artist: Toots And The Maytals Lyrics

Song: Sweet And Dandy Lyrics

Etty in the room a cry

Mama say she must wipe her eye

Papa say she no fi foolish

Like she never been to school at all

It is no wonder

It's a perfect pander

While they were dancing in that bar room last night.

Johnson in the room afret

Uncle say he must hold up him head

Aunty say she no fi foolish

Like a no time fi him wedding day

It is no wonder

It's a perfect pander

While they were dancing in that bar room last night.

One pound ten for the wedding cake

Plenty bottle of cola wine

All the people them dress up in a white

Fi go eat out Johnson wedding cake

It is no wonder

It's a perfect pander

While they were dancing in that bar room last night.
