11,593. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE TRICKLE

I CAN'T BELIEVE THE TRICKLE
Those are lies that we all must think -
the way things turn us around: Seasons
that change and the clocks that change 
with them; metaphors to misdeeds, cows
to the barn and back. I'm riding shotgun
on your stage for this one last trip; I'll
be sitting outside, up on top. And I don't
know why, either, but we're passing 
through that Oklahoma territory this
trip again; and you know I never like
it there. First it was the trains, as they 
wanted all the clocks alike. And then
it was the changing of times, as they
said they 'wanted better light.' And,
no, I can't believe what I have 
to put up with either....
