i am beginning
to wonder how many songs
this band even knows.


i'm surprised to hear
the final verse of this song.
its is not well known.


a young boy walks up
and his chest is badly scarred.
everyone looks down.


skin drawn tight over
bold cheek bones, a crisp white shirt,
and an old bible.


when the young man's voice
wanders far from the tune, the
old man backs him up.
