Last Names

We got rice we got corn
we got bread fresh this morning
we got years we got kids
and furniture that we both picked

We got junk, we got lists,
appointments that we can't miss,
containers with no lids,
and our photographs on the fridge

and our last names are almost the same
yes our last names are almost the same

We got aspirin and vitamins,
moisturiser for the skin.
A garage full of bad ideas,
don't open that cupboard over there.

We got eco-friendly carry bags,
coffee beans and jotter pads.
Ironing boards and paper towels
a pepper mill that can't be found.

and our last names are almost the same
yes our last names are almost the same

We got caps, we got books,
Raincoats hanging on hooks.
We got schedules on our phones,
and sometimes five minutes alone.

We got exes, anniversaries,
condolence cards and comedies,
and RSVPs
to people we hardly ever see.

and our last names are almost the same
yes our last names are almost the same
last names
last names
last names
last names.
