a boy with a coin he found in the weeds
with bullets and pages of trade magazines
close to a car that flipped on the turn
when god left the ground to circle the world

a girl with a bird she found in the snow
then flew-up her gown and that’s how she knows
if god made her eyes for cryin at birth
then left the ground to circle the earth

a boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
then making a wish he tossed in the sea
walked to a town that all of us burn
when god left the ground to circle the world
