It's a Dark Night
hot air hangs like a dead man
from a white oak tree
people sitting on porches
thinking how things used to be
dark night
dark night
the neighborhood was changing
strangers moving in
a new boy fell for a local girl
when she made eyes at him
she was young and pretty
no stranger to other men
but doors were being locked at night
old lines were drawn again
I thought things like that
didn't matter anymore
I thought all the blood
had been shed long ago

Date: 2012-04-22 11:54 pm (UTC)I'm not my Father, and I no longer possess the capability to observe you at every moment - at least, not without additional measures. I simply seek to protect you from the wrath of others, and to perhaps extract a lesson out of experiences in which you or others might come to harm.
I don't seek to judge you, Richie. I just want you and others to be safe.
