Cattle and Cane |
I recall a schoolboy coming home |
Through fields of cane |
To a house of tin and timber |
And in the sky |
A rain of falling cinders |
From time to time |
The waste memory-wastes |
I recall a boy in bigger pants |
Like everyone |
Just waiting for a chance |
His father’s watch |
He left it in the showers |
From time to time |
The waste memory-wastes |
I recall a bigger brighter world |
A world of books |
And silent times in thought |
And then the railroad |
The railroad takes him home |
Through fields of cattle |
Through fields of cane |
From time to time |
The waste memory-wastes |
The waste memory-wastes |
Further, longer, higher, older |
