we so worried about bein' left or how little spaces are even bigger with just us the way er'thing looks starin' at our backs in the future 'cause we spend the days hopin' someone'll stick close, and when they ain't or aren't we rubbin' sticks together watchin a lot of TV and stars things are alright already, we ain't dying or nothin', got clothes and food just like that bible scripture but one question always on our minds-- why are there so many people, then? why there so many people, then?

written to To Go Wrong and Wash Me Clean by Lillie Mae. Two songs I really like.
