1652

I am doing some very difficult work right now,
I am wondering what will come of my car.

You want to see the Grand Canyon
And I am somewhere in Bayonne.

The spirit of our times
Wants me to pick up a pencil

And start pinning down these vermin
By their capes. "How many knuckles?" they ask,

Meaning, "Is it love?"
A man will take a long train ride

For the correct friction.
Music that hits the reflex points.

We want to be that whole person
Who doesn't take the easy money,

And still I keep getting what they call help.
The big hit swoops very low to the ground.
