Look at the photo of them 
Happy with their father 
Try to meditate 
In the exercise room

But these are just commands 
How do others do it? 
When there’s snow falling
Lightly. 

An imperfect headspace
But so isolated 
The snowfall 
Makes you feel. 

This one is stunted 
The rhythm out of the ordinary 
For the collection. 
A distant grey house. 

Traditional rock n’ roll 
Is so gaudy. Let it all 
Flow out–hope that you’ll 
Feel better–but oh so feverish. 

Dad calls. You’re worried about 
Him in this uncertain time.
But he’s such a capitalist. 
Meditate on this and that! 

An improper pen movement. 
Do you feel hollow
After reading? 
I–What was to be achieved? 

Here comes the bridge 
I guess I’ll move back to St. Louis.
