And everyone working
the drive-thru is beautiful
smiling just
like the commercial
Thanks, I will
have a good day
& a double
cheeseburger too
And without complaint
the birds wake
you early
sun against the skin
Somewhere smell
of a grill
Cut grass & gasoline
And the church lady
her hat a bouquet
saying Hello
Hello
The sun a giant melon
And we’re not getting
any younger
but today no older neither
And why not
live forever
Why not wait
till tomorrow
to pay the phone
the gas electric
Why not pray
for a tie
instead of a win
for the game to go
long, on & on,
a million innings
