I wish I could have met you
So we could have had a little bit more time
But I am happy you met me when you me
When I was at my best and not my worst.

Because my bad is pretty bad
It’s strip mine scars and poisoned waters
swallowing dilapidated company towns
of cheap row homes with the same two ply doors
where only the chipped asbestos tile
And scavenged boards across the broken doors
to break up the monotony of arc lights.
