10,757. WHEN I GET HOME

WHEN I GET HOME

When I get home to where I'm

going I may give you a call : To

see if the card-sharks are still around

and those guys with the souped-up cars.

To see if the tall oaks are gone now, 

and just more paving and just more

grounds. People seem to swarm now,

everywhere. 

-

If I get home , to where I'm going,

I'll send you a card when I set out  -  

so you know to expect me. I want a 

block-party and a street-fair put up in

my name. I can throw some money 

here and there; find me a cause  -  but 

something not too dear. I've had enough

of those pink-ribbon ladies and crippled

vets. Make it simple. Food banks, etc.

-

After I made my first five-million, I

still kept thinking of home. The girls I left,

that strip of houses by the brook, the

little woods were we used to sit. It's funny

how things stay in your mind. This Califonia

crap no longer makes it - agents and guides,

managers and designers. Cars that go 185.

-

To where, and by whom? That's really all

we ever need to now. I'll be home soon.
