Reneé Dominique
6:00Hearing her voice is like hearing a ghost Ghost with the same DNA Five years of birthdays that she was alone All since her twin passed away She calls me up looking for tech support I know she just needs to chat Asks when I'm coming up to Canada I'm not a stranger to that The hard conversation With my aunt With doctors With my twin The hard conversation With landlords With lawyers With my friend Mondays and Tuesdays you go see a shrink Wednesdays we meet at a group Thursday's A.A. followed by Al-Anon Friday's your day to recoup On Saturdays your parole officer Watches you piss in a tray, hey Sundays you sing in an Episcopal church Not that you practice that faith The hard conversation With my aunt With doctors With my twin The hard conversation With landlords And lawyers With my friend The hard conversation With your ex With neighbors With your twin The hard conversation With yourself With the law With your friend Gonna make it up to you I'll make it up to you Somehow somehow
