time zone trouble

broken reflections, early retirement
wild thoughts
blue stars and yellow ribbons
mild manners
storms lingering on the horizon
breakfast lives

coal mine hands, early retirement
pretty faces
dirty thoughts and suffocation
mild manners
drifting out of sleep on tuesday nights
freedom entrepreneurs

evening lights, early retirement
crying cribs
american flags on texan streets
mild manners
lightning bugs blocking the moonlight
sundown city

mortar shells, early retirement
captains orders
ration packs in bunker holes
mild manners
smoke filling the mountainside
lost boys

morphine drips, early retirement
open caskets
blank faces upon floral patterns
mild mannered
folded american flags in white gloves
21 gun salutes
