“HORIZON” 21 May 97

try to keep your friends.
try to keep out of debt.
try to keep it together
from the womb to the grave

the infinite abyss gapes
we’re busy making plans
for our own Great Escapes
my own private Steve McQueen

that half hour before sleep
when reasons are hard to find
God loves his children
but there’s no such thing as heaven
