A Soap Bubble on One Side

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
