I Miss My Brother Tim

1974
somewhere in El Monte
broke down again
with a flat
a cold and wet
dark November night

3 A.M.
stealing a tire
off a '56 Chevy
a garbage truck
coming our way
picking up trash

6 A.M.
parked at liquor store
have to piss
get out of car
a cop drives by
I miss my brother Tim

I have learned to love solitude, and I want to share it with you. When I see something as beautiful as the sun through the leaves on a bird moving in the trees singing, solitude is good. But having you to share it with, that's even better.
