every time he paves a park 

burns down a lot

calls the cops on  

children's songs 

 

we get sent this bill

payable on delivery 

 

his wife insists 

he talk to someone  

he only agreed 

after certain conditions 

 

were met– 

he didn’t have to pay for it

 

he says he did it for her

in the helicopter 

she suggested maybe 

another museum 

 

named after her

would make him happy 

 

while he’s thinking about ways 

to pour more concrete 

 

over the landscape 

but he can’t put his 

finger on it not yet 

she’d like him to 

 

just be himself and relax

but he can’t 

 

that’s why we’re on 

the co-pay
