They left me, leaving my house on fire, me running round --- |
Got out through the window |
While clinging to the skirts of fate was not my idea of fun |
I’ll jump to it gladly |
The town was filled with smoke and hate |
Came to my senses just too late to realize that all I ever owned was borrowed |
I thanked them for having shown me that nothing ever really belongs to anyone |
They burned my books and they broke my car, and gave the dog to a man who used |
him for breeding |
They felled my trees and they tramped flowers and threw the kitten into my new |
pool |
The same things done to other men had made them run away from the city |
This being the case, I joined them there and breathing air spent the night with |
these new friends |
