The shadows stretch across the morning
then become afternoon shade under trees
Underlines of favorite quotes in stolen library books
I can't return them I can't afford the fees
The piano plays so tragic in a state of endless tears
it seemed so hopeful then died for several years
There's a TVset inside my history book I can't recall
the funeral was canceled due to no one's dead
A horse was running backwards down a painted empty road
it had no rider and was free without a fence
And the knothole in my table grew a brand new branch
I remain less and less meaningless but gain new hope in this
