lyrics

September 2023

Goliath sleeps now
Warm breeze breaks soft silence
Waiting chuff of steam

Blackberries soft now
Beseech hikers to pick them
One last sweet crumble

The cafe is closed
No volunteers here to help
They'd rather drive trains

Swallows fly past South
August gone, they seek the sun
Please take me with you

My painting is crap
I have no patience to draw
Sloppy is my style

TJD 2/9/23


Passers-By

Some look happy, but most do not
Sad, grumpy and purposeful
Overweight and confused, often with a dog
Tattoos, bikes, rucksacks, youths with agendas
Old men stagger behind angular wives
Some demented, mostly unappreciated
Only the Asians have their lives in order
The English cling on to the sad deception
they are in control, are prosperous and free
As if bubble tea is some kind of luxury
And mobility scooters can travel the world
Pets try to bring comfort
But howl like abandoned babies behind Iceland
I feel like joining in, us poor things
