Slippery Strange

from Vacations by The Caution Children

lyrics

We came back
We sat for tea
The stranger looked more at home than we did
He possessed a shadow of the strongest father, but made me uncomfortable

He never left
We never talked about it
No one said a word

He'd enter the room and make decisions
He moved like his body was a trap
I guess it was

The man was so awkward
yet he stayed.
He had taken over the house
We gave it to him!


 Whatever he was…
...a cuckoo that kept its nest so still that others could watch him eat?

Ten months later,
That living interjection was gone
We never talked about it
No one said a word

I saw him much later at night, in the sea
His bulbous head was showing, staring up at the moon
He looked at me and then slipped under
