Looking Back

Looking Back

yes it's part of a pair there
on the bow of noah's ark
the most prestigious couple
just kicking back parked
against a perfectly blue sky
on a morning beautific
in its indian summer breeze
on the day that america
fell to its knees


after strutting around for a century
without saying thank you or please


and the shock was subsonic
and the smoke was deafening
between the setup and the punch line
because we were all on time
for work that day


we all boarded that plane for to fly
and then when the fires were raging
we all climbed up on the windowsill
and then we all held hands
and jumped into the sky
