about

on a craggy cliff youthful hearts break and sweets are shared

lyrics

Weakened by the week-end
working in the garden
leave the oil can where it is
let it be, says the baby in the stroller
a teenage girl gives a lollipop to her crush
a youthful goof impish uncouth
not a mark is left
of that
a bead of sweat rolls
across the sugar glazed sweet rolls
a Dunkin Donuts franchise future
looking back on that lollipop
back to the garden where
the oil can tipped over
no one saw who it was
blame the dog
leaking out mercurial
the crowd goes wild
congratulations to the coach
ice cubes and gatorade down his shirt
yesterday’s sunburns from the day at the lake
they hurt
the celebrations already in slow motion
already long gone, the players disenfranchised
sleeping in front of their respectful TVs
oh where are they now?
oil oozing in the flower bed
beauty’s control center
so they say
the little men
fat bearded ones with pipes
in the garden
only once and not again
not my problem not my friend
the quiet days
oh the dark days
of sleep were coming here
and now they’ve passed on by
their place was then
now it is done
time to gather
the wild thyme that grows up on the mountaintop
turn that oil can upright
as Roy Orbison once said to do
