nicotine stains on the rain-grayed barn-boards
\ncondom hidden behind a loose plank
\npranks of growing, we often chuckled
\nkids will be kids: and we gave them a spank
\nthen they grew up
\nand they watched their children
\norganized everything
\nsponsored by banks
\nsafety was uppermost
\nfor their children
\nnowhere the discipline
\neverywhere tranqs<\/p>\n
where is this going?
\nno one’s decided
\nnothing is written
\nfuture’s a blank
\nif I had my way
\nit would be settled
\nbehind the barn
\nfor that I’d give thanks<\/p>\n
