Not a peep out of you now br After the bedlam early this morning. br Are you begging pardon of me br Hidden up there among the leaves, br Or are your brains momentarily overtaxed? br br You savvy a few things I don't: br The overlooked sunflower seed worth a holler; br The traffic of cats in the yard; br Strangers leaving the widow's house, br Tieless and wearing crooked grins. br br Or have you got wind of the world's news? br Some new horror I haven't heard about yet? br Which one of you was so bold as to warn me, br Our sweet setup is in danger? br br Kids are playing soldiers down the road, br Pointing their rifles and playing dead.
