From this book of poems:
Railroad Song
Amongst the rope burning
Poppy seeds and all–
Hobo Jim
Ridin’ a thin dime
Gotta’ get to Nashville
Got a song on his mind
Blowin’ harmonica
Thinking of Dylan
Grease and tires a squealin’
Jim wrote the Railroad Song
A life all wrong
Conductor up till dawn
Engineer in the wind
Blue skies ahead
Hohner harmonica
His butter and bread
Amongst the rope burning
Poppy seeds and all-
Hobo Jim
Ridin’ a thin dime
Gotta’ get to Nashville
Got a song on his mind
Homeless Freddy
His clothes dirty
Hasn’t brushed his teeth in years
Divorced from Bloody Mary
Mary Jane killed his pain
In his darkest years
Railroad Song
Dirty dandelions
This time
Better study the Book of' Daniel
In the den of lions
Jesus and the Scarecrow
Pumpkins lining up
Thunder comin’ in
It’s late November
Scarecrow gonna’ have
Some snow on his shoulder
The trees jerked
Thought they felt something
Pea green sky
Like a tornado a rumblin’
Jesus through the clouds
Rubbing elbows with
An ole’ scarecrow
And the Devil’s embargo
Caterpillar sewing a garment
As Jesus put the sun up
Holy Spirit prancin’
The scarecrow’s soul
A dancin’
Jesus is the only thing
The scarecrow
Wants to know
Hallelujah in the snow
Amen
