do you like to sit
in the quiet of the air
i do, very much
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
dry air blowing 'round
my legs up under blanket

. . .
that green is real good

we did a good job
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
we'll fix the bathroom
that has to be nearly next
then we can be free
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
being stuck from a
young age is not quite helpful
to anybody
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
listen to the wind
lots of things live there to hear
so listen to it
. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
sit in the chair now
please sit down in that chair now
and sit in that chair
. . . [5/3/23]

what does the tea say
it says, "i'm here in this cup,

. . . [5/3/23]
. . .
spiders are funny
they have so many darn legs
and they still can't talk

if water's not wet
and the wind never blows now
would this still be life
. . . [5/5/23]
. . .
on the couch again
couches didn't used to be

the rain in spain is
here for now and forever

or it will be cramped
. . . [5/5/23]
. . .
sitting in chairs now
out in the sun with people

. . .
talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk,
talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
too many words to
say what we mean; we try to
get our thoughts across
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
these guys are talking
about murder on the train
while they try to eat
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
3 are sitting there
and 2 are sitting right there
we are in the sun
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
everybody eats
breakfast is on the menu
we've not eaten yet
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
all about the news
and there they are just eating
the birds just walk by
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
and now it's cool out
i'll keep my sweatshirt off though
the sun will come back
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
and the sun is back
it's laying on this page here
feels so good to me
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
he plays on the step
it's such a good place to play
live music each day
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
he plays guitar there
just right over there he plays
i love to be here
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
back on the couch now
it's like a sort of touch base
maybe this is next
. . . [5/6/23]
. . .
