There is nothing All the jars and cans Sit empty on the shelves. There is no hope for more. The roads to everywhere are closed. And Greyhound doesnβt stop here any more.
Everything is nebulous. The equipment is all broken down And rusting outside in the rain. We ordered from a catalog But never got a shipment back, And our check was never cashed.
There is nothing in the pipeline. The doorbell doesnβt seem to work. The screen door has a hole in it, Patched with pages Ripped from next weekβs calendar, And the phone declines to ring.
Everything is over now, The happy times Are past and gone. All thatβs left to us is weeping And the Kleenex box is empty, So the tears make puddles on the floor.
All we see through tear filled eyes: Another day in paradise. ljm
Sometimes I don't know why I write what I write. It just happens.
