45*21

today, I wrote this song
so I will cheat
and place it here
as a way for me to hear
and to remember.
"When the moon is rising/
they go insane/
Nearly freezing/
In this black/ Oct-ober rain/
No money for groceries/
only for cane//
That fermented cane//
It gives them warmth/
and keeps them sane/
Oh hear the laughter/
through a black/
October rain//
When the moon is rising/
I'll catch that train/
that takes me away//
from a black October rain
