Beyond the Fence
Two flat tires on the Model T
Two birds fighting for a bug
Faded squares like snowy TV screens
Where your photographs were hung
Keep Old Glory folded on a shelf
In a cabinet full of guns
Sell that engine block to someone else
Maybe they can make it run
How'd that calf get out beyond the fence
How'd that hole get in your jeans
Movie show was once but twenty cents
That mud there was once a stream
The moon is high your nose is burnt
Your dog is gone
Your mouth is dry the milk is turned
But Barbara's home
Hand in hand you watch the sun go down
Coloured lullaby of God
Barbara wears her mother's old nightgown
Sleeping with a nightlight on
White sheet blowing on a short clothesline
New tree bending to the breeze
This clock's beautiful but can't keep time
What's that scar on both your knees
The moon is high your nose is burnt
Your dog is gone
Your mouth is dry the milk is turned
But Barbara's home
