Nothing To Declare

2 eggs over easy toast & jelly coffee black as night
I know you order for you while you fill out immigration forms & flights
Date of issue surname passport address & postal code
You know all my numbers check my boxes I have nothing to disclose

Just the sand in my shoes & the wind in my hair
I’ve come back empty-handed I have nothing to declare
But the travelling blues and memories of you
I’ve come home empty handed I have nothing to declare

All your lotions and tonics & your large electronics go in the tub
Your face was in a locket I’d forgot was in my pocket and made it buzz
We woke up to a new world sanitized spread apart and masked
We all fought & argued hoarded shamed blamed lied cried and crashed

I did my laundry in the bathtub in a New Orleans hotel quarantine
while the big muddy churned with riverboats flags and party queens
So I went to bed so early in hope that you’d come find me in a dream
But I woke prematurely when these words came flowing like a stream
