welcome to mid-western america.
it's michigan; amphetamine addiction
and alcoholism, monotony and motor
vehicles, mother's telling their sons,
"i meant for so much more in you."
money's tight so we make ends meet
with meager meals and broken machines,
monday mornings alone and unemployment offices,
molding fruit and rotten meat.
and we meant for so much more
in these mournful mornings.
we meant for emotion and empathy,
everyday exercise and activity,
but mostly momentous memories.
