Drop by on Sunday—I’ll Turtlewax
your sky-blue sports car, no sweat. I’ll greet
enemies with a handshake, forgive debtorswith a papal largesse. It’s all because
of you. Because of you and me,
I’ve become one changed man.
–Robert Phillips, “The Changed Man” (excerpt) from Spinach Days (The Johns Hopkins University Press)
And then Bill got himself a wife,
Now he leads a different life…

Why don’t we make a little room in my BMW
Searching for some peace of mind…
Sometimes she tries to hide it from me
But when she starts talking over my head
It makes me dizzy
I’m just a cipher in her master plan
That’s what I get for working out of my league
And though she says that I have nothing to fear
I wonder what will be left when she’s finished with me…
