1
I leave as soon as it gets light outside
2
Like a prisoner breaking out of jail
3
And I steel down to business fifteen-five-oh-one
4
like I had a bounty hunter on my tail
5
and somebody stops to pick me up
6
but he drops me off just down the block
7
and along the highway where the empty spirits breathe
8
wild sage growing in the weeds
9
Walked down the soft shoulder and I count my steps
10
Headed vaguely eastward sun in my eyes
11
And I lose my footing and I skin my hands breaking my fall
12
And I laugh to myself, and look up at the skies
13
And then I think I hear angels in my ears
14
Like marbles being thrown against a mirror
15
And along the highway where unlucky stray dogs bleed
16
Wild sage growing in the weeds
17
and some days I don't miss my family
18
and some days I do
19
some days I think I'd feel better if I tried harder
20
most days I know it's not true
21
I lay down right where I felt cold grass in my face
22
And I hear the traffic like the rhythm of the tides
23
And I stare at the scrape on the heel of my hand
24
'til it doesn't sting so much and until the bloods dried
25
And when somebody asks if I'm ok
26
I don't know what to say
27
And along the highway
28
From cast-off innumerable seeds
29
Wild sage growing in the weeds.
