SUNDAY PRAYER, xxvi

Time & time again,
back in the day we made grandfather
clocks and poplar pocket watches
from a factory on a river of foxes.
There we earned our honest wage,
the bronze of youth becoming sage.
Time tears the watch factories down,
that is the story of my town. I am, I am.

Time & time again,
then came Chicago's fire-like sprawl,
drown in a riverboat casino,
red with debt and cherry vino.
But before that mess was messed,
when men were men and sins were blessed,
you ask your grandpa, he'll agree,
we made the best between the seas. I am, I am, I am.

But you're a birthday,
deep with the dayshine.
Dusk to a moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes.

Time & time again, I am, I am.
