Pale Green Things |
| Got up before dawn |
| Went down to the racetrack |
| Riding with the windows down |
| Shortly after your first heart attack |
| You parked behind the paddock |
| Cracking asphalt underfoot |
| Coming up through the cracks |
| Pale green things |
| Pale green things |
| You watched the horses run their workouts |
| You held your stopwatch in your left hand |
| And a Racing Form beneath your arm |
| Casting your gaze way out to no man’s land |
| Sometimes I’ll meet you out there |
| Lonely and frightened |
| Flicking my tongue out at the wet leaves |
| Pale green things |
| Pale green things |
| My sister called at 3 AM |
| Just last December |
| She told me how you’d died at last |
| At last |
| That morning at the racetrack |
| Was one thing that I remembered |
| I turned it over in my mind |
| Like a living Chinese finger trap |
| Seaweed in Indiana sawgrass |
| Pale green things |
| Pale green things |
