Roy Chester McBride: Caught
Intoxicated on Lilacs
& simply simple complicated life.
You got caught, I got caught, we got caught…
in the web of life
That voice…
The rhyme and repetition,
the rhyme and repetition,
the rhyme and repetition…
I hear you now, I hear you know, in my brain
In my brain,
my brain,
my brain
I see you now
marching
in another 30 mayday parades
From Phillips to Powderhorn,
step by step
by step
by step
by step
