Shaving the skin
off my skin
I can remember

God bless the day they plucked
sister from the lake

All bloated and green she was
I could not stand to look
She was truly
a body of water

And Sgt. Yokum
The brave old Sgt. Yokum
Gathered up his clowns
and searched for a pedophile

They lifted every rock
and rug in this town
Yet still came up clueless
like dirty blondes

I remember volunteering at church
that summer
Bake sales and catholic girls
and life began to open up

Finally settled here some
13 years later
A family of my own

But I can still remember the day I raped my sister

And drowned her in that body of water
