MICHAEL GROVER

Here Lies Confusion

Here lies confusion,
Confusion corner
Big roundabout
One of the biggest landmarks
In this lazy southern town.
One of the only places
You can taste chaos around here.
Bells ring,
Red lights flash,
Train horn blows
Cars stack up
Around the curb.
Train lumbers on slow.
There are some days I say
This small town livin' is saving me.
But who wants to be saved?
Most days it drives me crazy.
Leaves me jonesing for the energy
Of any big city.
Anywhere but here.
Sitting on confusion corner
Watching the cars go through.
