Poem 9

Here - There the sun,
O! the moon
the sun and the moon
the sun, the moon, and the big, big sky
O! the moon the midnight sky, and the road
only the road and what
has passed
or is passed by.
Truly Nothing . . .
and Everything

All the tears the pious have wept 'bout a man gone and a
woman kept
All the wrongs the
righteous assail
'bout a two-timing woman and a man in jail
All the songs country bluesmen sing
'bout ever-lovin' love and
a one-night fling.
'bout how a woman can take more'n a man can ever bring

Oh yes!
a man and a woman's a dangerous thing.

a train,
a banjo,
and a chicken wing.
