With a coffee, looking at the moon through the trees
knowing what transpired last night and continues today
my thoughts are unlike the blue sky you see there
but I am not alone is such thinking
Heard a couple voices on the radio this am
One was from Kantuckey the other I didn’t catch his State
they sounded nothing like me as in accent
yet they were exactly like me
they were both Vietnam Veterans
how many of you were alive or aware what was happening during 1975 I don’t know
Fall of Saigon
That’s how one described last night
the Communists rolling in
the other got most of “SonsofBitches” in before he was cutoff
I kinda smiled at that
Never cared for this song by Johnny Mandel
still don’t
somehow it seems fitting
Has America finally played her loosing card
something I was thinking about while looking at the moon
