Ian Cussick Everything Will Turn Out Fine
riding on the subway
watching all the people stare
everyone just listens
they won’t do any talking
oh no
they just sit there waiting
waiting with their eyes
don’t ask any questions
you won’t get any answers
oh no
everybody seems to have a good time
nobody is stepping out of line
everyone’s agreed that everything
will turn out fine
moving through the city
making all the rounds
trying different places
didn’t like the faces
oh no
rolling in the gutter
throwing off my pride
belly full of whiskey
was it hard to swallow
oh no
