THOSE DAYS

THOSE DAYS
the men
were crazy
and the women
insane
and the dogs ran rampant
through the streets
the homeless
were hauled off to jail
and the sex predators
prosecuted
and outside the courthouse
was a twelve mile line of people
holding their divorce papers
in their hands
the musicians continued playing
and stiffing the bartenders
and the writers in the town
hid in their attics
talking
laughing
and drinking all the wine
wondering whether or not
it would be a good idea
to take notes about it all
