Seven Cities High

What if we could wear those trails in the sky
On a clear summer’s day That are seven cities high?
If our shadows stretched several miles
And carved out those deep Canyon Aisles?
If there were no signs that say where we’re going,not knowing
That this is just flying.It is not dying.
What if we could wear those colors at dawn
In a pleasant cold rain that stretched to the horizon?
If our shadows spanned several states
Greying over those cold mountain gates.
If there were no signs to show where we’ve been, never knowing
That this is just climbing. It is not dying.
We could wear those Trails in the sky
If there were no signs that say where we’re going, not knowing
That this is just flying. It is not dying.

Touristed

What they said, all true
I said these things, did a few
I spouted off
I stirred the pot
Popped my head up too far
They chopped it off
A little too close
Sewed it back on again
To chat I suppose
I was smart
I was sloppy
I was touristed
Six months in a cell
Conversations, who-who-who
And well-well-well
Prisoner at home
Taking the show on the road
Out in the country
Fresh air and bright sun
Seeing the sights, snapping snaps,
Smiles and good fun
I was sloppy
I was lucky
Only touristed
Three brothers and I
Or a father and his sons
This is how it's done
On buses and trains
In the temples, at tables
They make arrangements
I am unable
To escape or demur or
Contemplate the worst
I got caught
I was sloppy
I was touristed
What would you say to
A roll in the hay, charming man
Wouldn't you know it
They already paid
A few photos to file
Quite compromising
Embarrassing, yes
Surely, my friend, less complex
Than a makeshift noose
Accidental fall
Indifferent pistol in the mouth
Brown blood on the wall
I was johned
Suicided
I was touristed
I was johned
Suicided
I was touristed
