We remember tight times less



Do you Remember

When we fell in love?


Michael Jackson told us

It was like heaven


So we held hands

Then switched to Nas


Heineken bottles

And juices


Marvin Gaye is a different subject

But also mentioned in passing


Do you remember the times we had less

The tight times?


Those times were simpler

And so we had more, not less


Choices and opportunities are overrated

When you're a spoilsport like me


Do you remember when I wasn't?

I had the whole world tuned up


Can you not hear it?

Would you like me to

Turn

It

Up?


Basket weavers of South Carolina

Swapping craft for fresh vegetables


Jubilant babies being 

Used for film and TV


What a glorious world

When you look at the colors


But also in black and white

There is a mysterious richness


That richness only found us rarely

But the moments were sweet like star fruit


Now on the funky New Orleans side

We just kiss our baby


We feel brand new

Because we know not enough of the stuff


To feel less

Sensation stops at Penn Station


Then the rigmarole collects change

Pushing dirty wares into luggage
