whittles away a few more

The shapes and colors and lights
expand and merge together.
There forms diaphanous mists
on the surface of my eyes.
All the world is a question.

Oh Bill Callahan,
you’re a magnificent man.
If I ever I write
songs that are quite
as nice as yours
I’ll go on tours
to Texas or Japan
It would be grand.

Through a layer of smog
We all stay inside
Even the dog.
But as real clouds roll in
And it starts to snow
Sunshine turns clear
Making Earth glow.
