When Walking by The Lumber Store on A Snowy Evening
I think that I shall never see
A box full of free wood
that is useful to me.
A warp-ed piece of creaking pallet
And two panels of fiberboard
To nail together with a mallet
Would not make a very good stage.
If only two-by-fours were in there
I could build a tennis racket
If I also had strings and tape and
Other wood-shaping equipment.
All the wood in the world
Would not stop your innocence lost
from being found again and lost again.
Not even if all the wood in the world
Was free.
