SOMEONE KICKED A JACK-O-LANTERN IN THE FACE AND LOST AN EXPENSIVE SHOE
A BROKEN BIKE LOCK AND A SLICED UP TIRE WET WITH MORNING DEW
THE AIR LIKE CHRISTMAS TINSEL FROM MY COLD AND BLEEDING MOUTH FLEW
COLD OCTOBER DAWN IN SILVER BLUE
A T.V. GUIDE SHAMELESSLY PROCLAIMS THE RISE OF ONE MORE CHILD STAR
A WOMAN WITH A RADIO AND ORANGE JACKET DUCKS INTO A BAR
I FUMBLE FOR MY WATCH AND WONDER HOW I EVER GOT THIS FAR
SOMETIMES YOU DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE
I SEE MY FOOTPRINTS UP AHEAD WHERE I SWORE I’D STAY AWAY
I CLOSE MY EYES, ROUNDING THE CORNER LOOKING FOR ANOTHER WAY
I CONVINCE MYSELF THAT YESTERDAY WAS COLDER THAN TODAY
I’D PRAY TO GOD BUT I’VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO PRAY
