50S Dad

try to dress like a man
pressed
ready
heads on the wall
think of your father's eye
and hang your head
never know what to say when
bad days come again
stretched
pressed
he breathes like a dog
stretched
pressed
heads on the wall
boxed up, faces down
your family looks from the landing
bad days come again, after all
five minutes standing
the first thing you said
i don't know what we'll do
what can we do
