heyy!


i gift my walkingsong
to all around me
in this hot countryside
while putting distance between myself
and a visit with a relative staying at the pen
for something he more than likely didn't do
while trying to be right
in a world gone wrong

cars pass me
as if i were nothing
except to honk at
like you might at a coyote

damn truck up the road
didn't make it again
so i walk in the footsteps of my ancestors
to the next phone
to get a ride on out of here

back into the ghostworld

sgv eladidasdi
nasgi alesdena dilasinv
vhna.i ani tsunigayvli iyustanv
hooo.hey!
