I ride an old paint
I lead an old dam
I'm going to Montana
To throw a houlihan

Yours was the soul
footsteps and breath and river all drone

The rose of sharon is blooming again

Is it trash or is…

Soft breeze upo0n my skin
Prepared but even then
So swings the pendulum
The lives it takes as the branches break
The hopes and dreams now sympathies
For all the starts left in the sky
Are pocket change left…

Mid-life crisis head into town
One foot in the cradle, one foot in the grave
I still feel young but I can sense a change
There has got to be more than this
Crooked lines with straight edges
