my
father
sounded
tired
on
the
phone
I
could
hear
his
silver
hair

red
velvet
drapes
behind
the
denim
was
fierce
his
slide
guitar
gently
wept

what
happened
to
you
roxanne
I
wonder
after
you
left
me
in
first
grade

come
inside
my
tipi
rest
awhile
can
I
take
that
boxed
wine
for
you

such
wow
we
v
yum
us
so
you
know
all
the
things
those
feels
so
feely

people
talking
without
speaking
people
hearing
without
listening

-simon & garfunkel

the
little
bird
picked
grasses
from
our
yard
for
his
nest
I
felt
so
honored

'neath
the
halo
of
a
street
lamp
I
turned
my
collar
to
the
cold
and
damp

-simon & garfunkel

I
write
to
you
in
emoji
in
dreams
where
fire
hearts
sunshine
palm
trees

because
a
vision
softly
creeping
left
its
seeds
while
I
was
sleeping

-simon & garfunkel

my
black
and
white
queen
she's
a
good
cat
I
tell
her
I
love
her
everyday

the
raccoons
that
lived
in
my
trees
the
fine
gentleman
that
just
passed
me
by

I
can
see
her
walking
home
from
the
bus
stop
from
my
bedroom
window

I
said
hello
kitty
she
said
ha
ha
you
said
hello
kitty

could
I
fall
asleep
on
your
shoulder
the
way
they
do
in
the
pictures

we
were
hillbillies
on
the
foothills
singing
blue
eyes
crying
in
the
rain

every
rose
has
its
thorn
just
like
every
cowboy
sings
a
sad
sad
song

-poison

she
puts
found
feathers
under
her
pillow
at
night
to
make
wishes
on

indica
girl
daughter
of
the
witch
wizard's
wife
magic
moon
mother

the
way
he
shrugs
his
shoulders
his
kindly
sighs
and
you
get
his
meaning
