- The bride was beautiful.
- The bride was beautiful
in the way brides are—
intricate updo, professional face.
- The first thing my brother,
the groom, said to me was
that’s an interesting hairdo.
- It was his second wedding
in the same church.
- Bourke Floyd once fingered me
under the magnolia tree
during a lock in.
- The minister’s son and I
planned our Rock N Roll future
on the Sunday school steps.
- Rock n roll dies
naked and alone on Christmas.
The organist reminded me of
our handprints on the wall.
- You were my only ally
I shouted at my dad
during the reception
and then I danced.
- I had sweet tea and whiskey
for lunch, thanks to the
bride’s bad sister.
- I didn’t make out with
the bride’s bad sister.
I didn’t even try.
- Your mom isn’t talking to me
my dad said. I said me neither
- I ripped down posters
for the camp where I was a molested.
I once got in trouble for drawing smiles
on the goldfish crackers.
- Everyone at that church is older
than they used to be
except for the minister’s son.
