Oops... I've forgotten to do a poem for I don't know how many days. :( Anyway, to make up for it I'm going to do a BIG poem. If there are ANY readers out there, PLEASE comment! It would be nice.
Life In Nowhere
As I look outside at the golden fields
That stretch for eternity
I think of the golden grass
That stretched out like the sea
The emerald river twisted like a snake
Yet I knew every twist and turn
The fish never nibbled at the bait
I'd be out there until I got a sunburn
Wally's pancakes? Around the corner?
Best place for breakfast in town
But now that place is an abandoned lot
Weeds shootin' up from the ground
The Mexican restaurant, just down the street
Served the best enchiladas people could afford
But now that place is a sad little building
The windows all blocked by boards
The levee is still holdin' up
The center of our lives
It once was, but it is no more
The slopes where we surfed and dived
The post office is now the only business in town really,
Besides some biker bar
The old home that I loved so dearly
Now seems much too far.
