peacocks in the video rain

you can tell a cable from a tourniquet
when 10,000 12-year-olds mouth along
tiny broken operatic sounds dissolved
a loss that could not be found
I know your mother
I watched her watching you
sequined 8-year-old cowboy
she knew exactly what to do

This song has been officially “stuck in my head” for three days now… mostly the chorus and the “sequined 8-year-old cowboy” line.
