(Why the youth vote matters)

reason
torn to shreds
belief
water across my fingers
ny
cross legged sitting
back to a closed door
the actor's church
watching
too young prostitutes
walking by to
daytime schooling
where no one dares
to care
long hair ride
1974
the vietnam war slide
tv news evening blues
just empty relief
unconstitutional draft
curtains close
eugene o'neil theater
49th street
playing to an vacant line
time to hitch a ride
go west young man
just a girl any girl
just her child any child
golden gate green grass
all the young in celebration
once again
on the turn of another season
endings mark beginnings
rolling fog religion
dancing naked dancing
earth stained poncho warm
tears lost into
last year news
as tomorrow falls
shatters
water across my fingers
as tomorrow calls
where reason
lies dead
my country tis of thee
