\nDraw on the back door step
\nWith chalk<\/p>\n
\nAlmost shapes
\nAlmost something<\/p>\n
\nI will have no advice
\nTo give her
\nAbout all of this
\nAbout anything really<\/p>\n
\nNot to ask
\nSome chicken-dicked fool like me<\/p>\n
\nThat the dark thoughts
\nWill come,
\nMy god they will<\/p>\n
\nThey pass,<\/p>\n
\nSlowly leaving
\nThe field.<\/p>\n
