And then in you'll come with those marching drums in a saintly compromise. No more whiskey slurs, no more blonde-haired girls for your whole eternal life. And you'll do the dance that was choreographed at the very dawn of time. Singing "I told you son, the day would come you would die, you'd die you'd die you'd die you'd die."

On a detox loft through a Glendale Park over sidewalk chalk Someone wrote in red, "start over."

You took off your clothes and left on the light, You stood there so brave, you used to be shy, Each feature improved, each movement refined, And eyes like a showroom.

Conor Oberst
You've been a father to me. Your 1960's speak. Gives me comatose joy like re-run TV. While the mountainside was shining. Wild colors of my destiny.
