Daddy's Rifle In My Hands Felt Reassuring

For me, it is
far better to
grasp the Universe
as it really is
than to persist
in delusion,
however satisfying
and reassuring.

Neil Young:
"Powderfinger"
watch your step

shelter me from the powder and the finger
cover me with the thought i pulled the trigger
just think of me as one you never figured
who stayed away so long with so much left undone
remember me to my love you know i'll miss her
