lyrics

Ancient History I

the dinosaur returned to the city
he is waiting at the train station
his tail is suspended in the air
and his story reduced to a skeleton

he is waiting to be taken to the museum
where they preserve fragments of things passed
I wish I could take your bones there
and arrange them the way they once were

I would curate an exhibit on heartbreak
a smorgasbord of carefully selected artifacts
I would call it ancient history
and let visitors fill in the gaps

between a toothbrush and a pineapple
between the smell of carmel and an automobile
between a forest and a photograph
of lovers attempting a waltz
