david gray sings the cat comes
and we're just birds without wings
restore the cement to green
not to impose standards of beauty
but make something beautiful to me.
wendell berry explains, and mourns
the loss of self-sufficiency in the US
everyone thought life would be better
in the city you lose your freedom
though there's a TV to fill the extra hours
if I cry tears for this people, for this world
she'll call me great, but I just want
a good life, train tickets cheaper than air
outside there's a store called 三枪
three guns? they sell clothing.
(I scrawled this in my notebook on the bus yesterday as the song accused us of being "guilty of neglect and disrespect and thinking small")
