rats live on no evil star

surrounded by baby boomers and babies
a lonely feeling to be so old
suppose you were born on sept 11 2001
what will you remember when you are sixty four
what will your high school history text books teach you?
before I was five
eighty million people had died in a war.
I was born under an evil star.
"they say I was rebel before I reached the age of five
it was then that I got caught up in the struggle to survive
and it came to me one rainy august morning like a flash
we might all wake up tomorrow in a pile of smoke and ash"
Peggy Wilson
in her nighty and her mucklucks
married on a beach in california
she wore white
called herself a social whore
When she picked up her guitar
I wished I could sing along
because music is the key
and I still remember her
after all these years
another ghostly woman in my dreams
How I wished she had married me
Will I ever see Morro Bay again
Sailing down the coast
the seven sisters
Morro Rock
The one I loved the most
She was a waitress
what she called being a social whore
people came to the restaurant
just to feel her sunshine
reminded me of a Anne Romaine song
"Waiting on tables
Waiting for the tables to turn"
