Heading back home In uneven platforms Scratching a deep itch When approached by passing Labrador Attaboy Pat em And wish em well Well well well Tryna glean heaven off a moment Open up And hope I don’t catch hell hell hell The shell game Twisted up my sense of what’s real I keep a little hidden now To get a grip upon myself got a grip upon my belt I tripped a little bit and fell The welt was heart shaped I didn’t look too deeply into it Prominent on my brow But nobody seemed to mention it Squinting in the sunlight I feel peeled and sensitive But I still tried to whistle A little listless cave tune Can’t shape the trill But I played through Haunted and hollow If a little underwhelming Well well well It was haunted and hollow If a little underwhelming Well well well The page sop the ink up Soak the brush in the tea cup Squeeze it dry in the rag Pat it out through your fingers Drag it back through the black And trace impressions of speakers Knock-knocking the waves Making wiggles of the features of the landscape Man I’m grateful to be able to leave some mark Someday engraved on a bench in the park Or scraped underneath harmless and unregarded But in a subtle way An inextricable part of it Each step may degrade the cartilage artifice artful as The genuine article? Salt spread upon my veg And in my garden bed Growth stunted by a particle It’s been farcical, Haunted and hollow, if a little underwhelming, well well well Whistlin haunted and hollow, if a little underwhelming, well well well
