at times, I'm
just fifty cents
and newsprint
I want to be in tomorrows paper
but it's doesn't handle the rain well
and the ink starts to seep
and the words start to drip off the page
and you and your history,
that moment they remember,
have no features
i can melt
or catch fire,
smolder or singe
or disolve
ain't it better to burn
than be yesterdays news?
