Stood on my door
You were nineteen
I was twenty four.

We can surely make it, the will is there.

Their mothers never knew how
To catch the cupboard rats!

Attitude, want, and of course your wife

The second pulls you to where monies flow

Sometimes though love lasts
It’s so you don’t stay.
...

You made that corner about it only you know
Where in the light and shadow strange things grow
That though with you in placental bond breaks in the faintest touch
You own them you breed them about them you don’t know much.
