Ashes of American Flags

The cash machine is blue &green
$ 400 in twenties and small silver _
I could spend $ 3.63 on Diet Coca Cola
And unlit cigarettes
I wonder why we listen to poets
And nobody gives a thought
How hot &sorrowful
This machine begs for naught
All my lies are always wishes
I know i could die if i could come back new
I want a good life
With a nose for things
Fresh wind &bright sky
To enjoy my suffering
A hole without a key
If i break my tongue
Speakingof tomorrow
How will it ever come
Oh, all my lies are always wishes
I know i will die if i could come back new
I am down on my hands &knees
Every time the doorbell rings
I shake like a toothache
When i hear myself sing
Oh, my lies are only wishes
I know i will die if i could come back new
I would like to salute
The ashes of American flags
And all the fallen leaves
Filling up shopping bags
