I Changed Tonight

I changed tonight, of country, my friends, I know a dirty girl from Tennessee, More sparkling than a champagne cork, With black rimmel and lipsticks on sale. I changed countries last night, my friends, I’d rather be a peasant than a townsman, I prefer to say hello to donkeys and bees, I found rhymes and silence in sweet California, O Strange lands, birds understand me, They tell stories to millennial trees, I changed of country, my hats, poems, I talk and dreams are an Oregon Indian, Land of poetry, I cross without fear, railroads, I don’t trust window cleaners and car washers, Only poets can save you, my friends, They let the horses run wherever they want.
