a flat tire

i'm a
flat tire
a live wire
time ta' retire

i'm an old sink
that don't drain too well
a story that's hard ta' tell

kinda' move slow
don't know
no more
nor less

than i did before
you closed the door

i'm an old stinker
just an old thinker
an a won't blinker

wake up each day
and say
the same damn thing
come on life
bring what ya' bring

a new song ta' sing
a new poem to write
alright
love it after midnight
outta' sight

new words ta' say
new words ta' pray
anyway

runnin' on empty
'till i'm full
no gas my ass
i'm full a' bull

mesquitos
& dogs
don't bite
least not this time
a' night

so i write

a flat tire
needin' some air

a live wire
electricity

searchin' & seekin'
me

show me the road & i'll drive
flat tire & all

show me the wire
and i'll hang on

then i'm gone

searchin' & seekin'
seekin' ta' find
what i left behind

was it you
was it me
was it her
or him
i didn't see

?'s

flat tires & live wires
memories

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin
