'36 Hudson in the garage |
|
All sorts of junk in the unattached spare room |
|
Dishes in the kitchen sink |
|
New straw for the old broom |
|
Friends who don't have a clue |
|
Well-meaning teachers |
|
But down in your arms, in your arms |
|
I am a wild creature |
|
Floor two-foot high with newspapers |
|
White carpet thick with pet hair |
|
Half-eaten gallons of ice cream in the freezer |
|
Fresh fuel for the sodium flares |
|
I write down good reasons to freeze to death |
|
In my spiral ring notebook |
|
But in the long tresses of your hair |
|
I am a babbling brook |
