The Whole Apple

monet ate the whole apple -
i never thought to do that,
just threw the core on the road
and felt okay about it.

i think that i'm in texas now,
sam just threw up out the window

stoppin' at a rest stop,
my tummy is a 'rumblin'.

--

who am i gonna meet tonight
and what am i gonna say to them?
i think i'll talk about my jobs
and how i keep on leaving 'em

i'll sing some songs about the past
and a few 'bout my diet.
life is very cyclical,
the future might be new or not.

--

i might wake up shivering,
or maybe i'll be sweating.
it depends on the heating
so many ways to live.

olympia: the floor was cold.
but that is what we slept on.
in the woods near oahe
it sucked to keep my pants on.

--

then i moved to bethlehem,
and didn't get a job, no.
i dreamed about an easy life.
bike to work and home and work

but then i thought about my friends,
way up north in stroudsburg.
it's good that i have moved back home,
but i still miss the midwest.
