tick
by
tick the
clock uses
time
while the story
of songs is
told
at one
place about
another
his words
about another's
harmonica
turned into song
like you like to do it
take the wheat down
the way we did it
about as much out
as it is in
baseball
the voice of one man
selling beer for forty
years
guitar
an
active
participant
in the tick
spruce top maple
sides & back
steel
strings
ghosts
her words his
words
two young girls
back & forth
kill on a busted swing
(forever)
---that deserves a song
moo
history into story
---an accident
the cows won't speak
detention
but
kids
in jail
have plenty to
say
quilts
now
spinning on track four
pretty quilts
on the
line
called the sheriff
red lights flashing down
at the junction all
I want is my
money
mulberry
meanwhile, back in
town, after the first
hard frost, the leaves
in mounds on the
ground---gone
no place for trees
anymore
frogs
slowed way down
like rocks
like melody
in water
rancher rap
sample
splice
sing
loop
strum
strike
echo imitate bow
