lyrics

hope
julia chester hospital
white as a sheet
117 south hervey street

born in arkansas
on a wing and a prayer from kansas
to virginia my mother
nurse anesthetist

i breathe
in a wood frame house
i wreathe
in the silent night

a hick town
my home town
a drop of water
floats on the electric pole

hope to goddess
a pope crown
hymn to her highness
a clean town smells the dust and the apple sky

here in my own
in my own way
a clipperton way
walking up the clinton hill

my sandbox
a red desert flows away in our hands
a post office box
1.9.2.5.

outskirt of the town
wet road to wellness
car crash lost control
reborn on 17th may
