Something's not right
something's off-key in my mind
slushlight and dampdark
the night makes no difference
the ash bucket full
the house overheats
the website is crashed
the governor taken to task
everyone's pissed
the hills put on their black masks
children are handcuffed face down
something's off-key and unkind
and it bothers me all of the time.
—with three lines from Charles Wright's "Laguna Blues"
