It's a junk yard in their front yard full of dirt piles and rusty tools. Like white bread toasted, the neighborhood thinks their fools but are they living better than us? Spitting off the front porch peanut butter jelly hands. He wipes his fingers on his chest than licks the rest off with his tongue and it's hard to understand when the heat kicks in we ask if God's got a plan but maybe they're living better than the rest of us? Still, I guess if we question that may be the lesson that flat tires on a bicycle gets us farther than we'd ever learn. While they yell riding, flashing us they laugh so much they're almost crying and we die with the ache before there ever gone And maybe, they have it right they just go on living their lives better then we ever could for ourselves. Down the street, on the corner, grandma smokes her pack a day, beer in hand the he's just a child turned 12 years old today as he takes a swig I turn away.
