I've been moving

I've got a banjo in one ear

and a fiddle in the other

it's hard to type

but I'm going slow

firecrackers in the yard

this evening with the girls

a couple of times I would

find myself with a big stupid

kid grin of my own smeared

all over my face

and it's not possible for me

to watch one of them lighting

a fuse and not holler out 'boom'

and that's how traits get

passed on to the next

generation

the music is silent now

and I still have my headphones

on and they feel good

I've been writing some weird songs

and I can feel my head

moving into a different space

I like moving

I like sitting very still sometimes too
