Quarter-sized hail came banging down and I
crossed the fingers on my two hands hoping
I might get a new roof out of it for free & oh let’s
go all the way, new siding for my house as well
& while we’re at it a whole set of windows
that go up & down easy as pie & I might as well
throw in loving sweethearts for each of my sons
actually why not just say loving sweethearts
for all young people and all right, the older ones too,
plus peace and happiness within all of our hearts,
the country and the world,
food on the table, nice homes, warm clothes,
all that’s needed for All to survive and thrive. All.
Whyever and forever not?
