It Could Be Better

Jan 16 2009

Somewhere it is warmer. Somewhere it is summer.
Anywhere but here. Far away but here.
Hunkered down and waiting, under an overcoat
We will be fine. Bide the time.

Keep your head up. We will be alright.
Through the shortest days
and the longest nights.

Somewhere there’s a war zone. Somewhere there is tear gas.
Somewhere close to here, year after year.
Bunkered in a shelter, under a ceasefire
they’re still firing. They’re still fighting.

Keep your head down. We will be alright.
Through the shortest days
and the longest nights.

It could be better. It could be worse.
It could be anything at all.
