Canadian Club - Restorations

I’ve been writing on the backs of all these old postcards

Over what they say happened

Or what ever happened to

We met these kids in a blaze of bright ideas

I hear it never rains here

Or whatever was said

Says here it was colder in the southern states that year

Pent up fluorescence

Tiny fires in the air

Like a couple of kids aching for anything noon through the nighttime

Like a couple of kids with no known hometown

Like a couple of kids licking batteries in a soft suburban sunrise

Like a couple of kids with no known hometown

She says «I hope you survive your post-postcard life»

She says «So, tell me the plan…»

She demands a plan

I said my plan’s not to die
