which I would like to think that if I died
Ironically
Or perhaps not so much,
I swam
To cope
See my best friend
Next door
Had a pool.
And Jillian
Across the street
Had a tree
And I'd spend my days
At the bottom of that pool
Or the top of that tree
Or else stuffing my face with
plátanos fritos, yucca, or a sandwici
while watching music videos
on MTV
But the funny thing was
I always told myself
And others that
I'd taught myself
to swim.
That familiar story
That I was just thrown in
Yeah but
No
Or perhaps not so much,
I swam
To cope
See my best friend
Next door
Had a pool.
And Jillian
Across the street
Had a tree
And I'd spend my days
At the bottom of that pool
Or the top of that tree
Or else stuffing my face with
plátanos fritos, yucca, or a sandwici
while watching music videos
on MTV
But the funny thing was
I always told myself
And others that
I'd taught myself
to swim.
That familiar story
That I was just thrown in
Yeah but
No

- Don’t worry I’m writing “serious” songs now –
- I have a teacher in Brooklyn – and we pretend
- what we’re doing is consequential, collectively
- choosing to forget that we’ll both die one day,
- we’re not even sure when, (it could be tomorrow,)
- y ella continúa enviando un correo electrónico de nuestra Zoom programada
- and I send her payment through Venmo
- sometimes even the day before the lesson
- which I would like to think that if I died
- before the lesson at least she gets a little
