Kettlepot Field

well 
sometimes it hurts 
and 
sometimes it don't 
not a penny 
paid 
but no debts 
owed 
the horse i once rode 
has wandered away 
tell me, you bastard 
why i've lost my way. 
  
i lost my way 
in a kettlepot field 
ending the journey 
to sleep i would yield 
and laying there 
in a blanket of grass 
sleeping with crickets 
a snake bit my ass, 
but i was 
without a care 
staring up there 
at the cosmic fair.
