We will all look back
And see that this time
Was difficult
But our spirits
Regardless of what
Has been lost
Must be endurable
To continue to
Grow
For the next sunrise
We’ll know
In this life
We have a long way to go
We will all look back
And see that this time
Was difficult
But our spirits
Regardless of what
Has been lost
Must be endurable
To continue to
Grow
For the next sunrise
We’ll know
In this life
We have a long way to go
Only at the most convenient
Irrelevant
But ideal moment
A polite word
Is said
By one
And refused as it
Left
So bring manners
When the right time occurs
But learn it for good
In all registers
I make my mistakes
Even as I hope to
Make advances
After all
I am just a man
Doing the best
I can
Pickel parcels
Start at the cucumber
Until it becomes
The briny
Little
Pickle
That it is
A tired matter
Is what keeps me up
Too late at night
Even when the wind
Has stopped
My mind still goes
What else could be said
About a little lie
That somehow
Left so many afraid
Of what could have been done instead
These agreeable chickens
Speak no truth
But lies
To me
And you
Giddy markets
Cut out the middle class
Of people
Working day and night
Giddy homes and giddy cars
Giddy stocks and giddy stars
So hold tight
And wait for a new opportunity
If it ever comes
Again
It’s as sweet as an afternoon nap
Right there with a cozy
Knit blanket on your lap
The new out of tune
Is the thing to do
When the world
Falls apart
Just tuck in
And get a good view
It was an alright start
To a uneven night
That started with a nice
Shirt and pants
I could tell
That my own jealous
Self was not
Going to let go
Of my freedoms
So easily
I took off from the back door
And into the evening
Away from the odd path
My feet were beating
I was done
One and run
Out of the lifeline
Of support
I
Was
Kaput
