A penny at a time. And Bright Eyes, too. (for Molly)

a penny at a time/ I'll wish and dream a new world/ for all of us old and shining few/to better ourselves through the simple act of dreaming/and then rise up with the sun to make it so/ (for Molly Miss and the Boys)


I have spent so many lives here
watching at the worlds turn
and waiting madly for ours
only to decide that it's true-


We are the reason to carry on
to bite and fester at the torn edge of hope
to make a dawn explode by waking to the day
to drown the screams in singing
to drink down the fucking glory and chase it with raw whiskey
to never give up even while we are giving in
to the thousand natural heartaches
that no longer shock a one of us.


So a penny at a time I'll wish and dream a new world
for all of us old and shining few;
to better ourselves by the gentle act of dreaming,
and then rise up with the sun
to make it all so.


And here's the album of the day, for Molly too, who gave it first to me-
