'round.'round.'round i go

i told ol'gordon to stay where he stood
so i knew where to find him when i come back 'round.
he reminded me that ol'grand dad is waitin'
to warm my coffee at ten and twelve.
a good cup makes me grin.

don't ya know..?

well.i'll tell ya when you come 'round
how this proletarian gets on..
gets on..
under the ramped rounds of I-95.
no lie.

all is well.
as far as i can tell.
when good ol'grand dad is 'round.

"Hey there..
the factory could smell worse
on this here stagnat day darlin."
he says..

he says to me.

takin' my hand that good ol'grand dad.
later he be tellin' me stories
'bout singin' off key but keepin' with the beat.
i start snappin' my fingers
to the s0und of two soles shuffling dirty concrete floors.

all is well.
as far as i can tell.
when good ol'grand dad is 'round.
