Anyone Going Knows Already What's Gone
by Nicholas Brown
everyone dies first thing in the morning unable to bear another day
my father didn't need reminding to leave gentleness out of his going
like anything worth doing it would need to be done himself
sometimes an answer from god is the sunrise delayed indefinitely
my father was a barber on days when i must remember I get a haircut
I tell the barber its been so long somedays its close enough
my father didn't need reminding to leave gentleness out of his going
like anything worth doing it would need to be done himself
sometimes an answer from god is the sunrise delayed indefinitely
