A Soap Bubble on One Side
John McKernan
On the other side
The entire universe
The entire universe
With Omaha
Somewhere
In between
Lilacs tumbling down
The dawn lawns of Cass Street
A full moon still tilting its silence
Into morning church bells
Oh Time What a tireless slut you are
Anyone Anytime Anywhere Anything
Anyway Even that little McKernan kid
With his dirty T-shirt and bright brown eyes
Setting off his 4th of July firecrackers at first light
