Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

hey hey mama
can your daddy come home
beer soured up on me
and my money's all gone
there's a rainbow in an oil slick
somewhere
town's pulled out the plug
but i got me a jug, tonight
dogs howl with the sirens
coughing up blood
blue handkerchief last xmas
how'd you ever know
you should share your premonitions
when did i fall out of grace
when did the saltwater freeze
sometimes, the asphalt sparkles
like the southern cross
and the railroad tracks seem to join
in the distance, but they never do
no matter how far i walk

one of the characters in The Bell Jar called a poem nothing but a piece of dust.

Maybe so
but this one glows in the dark
