Nectarine Song
6-22-15

O, put on Christ and put off selfishness
Purchasing nectarines specially priced
Let us walk honestly
And not as in rioting or drunkardness
Unless of course it is good for your stomach's sake
The water in those days was not fit for drinking
For one believes that he can partake in all things
Happy is the man whose conscience
Does not condemn the thing that he allows
O, put on Christ and you will find freedom....




Ode To D and C
6-22-15

The story has her home in the fir trees
Another who is weak eats only herbs
Like rivers running to deeper seas
Praying for all of our goals
To cut back on the cigarettes
Where two or more are gathered together
There I am in the midst of thee
When the sun rises
They gather together and lie down in their dens
And God knows I have more than enough black and blue pens
Forty-five this evening is my limit
I purchase my nectarines, peaches and sugar
Learning to see the picture bigger
He looks on the earth and it trembles....
