"Findlay, Ohio 1968" 

Findlay Ohio, 1968, poking hot tar bubbles 

With a stick on the driveway 

Grammy's a Republican, Nixon is her man 

In 2 years time, Ohio will be up in flames 

I like the smell of the trash and leaves 

Burning in the cans 

Roger is the boy next door he's a wanderer, he starts 

With his hands... 

Cathy's the outcast we're nice but we steer clear 

Everyone says watch out for her mom 

The word is she's crazy she's always drinking beer 

Cathy's dad never came back from Vietnam

I like the smell of the trash and leaves burning in the cans 

Roger is the boy next door he's a wanderer 

He starts by holding my hand 

Scared, curious, raised up nice, but furious 

What happens to a fence-scaling girl 

If you catch your pants on top, first you're stuck and then you drop 

You'll look back and first you feel the thrill 

And then... 

I wasn't into poetry, but Sexton changed all that 

"The awful Rowing" past in tow and sinking slowly 

Listless and listing the things that I leave behind, 

So unkind, the pull of history 

We drove in a station wagon, wheels soft slapping 

Trenton on the turnpike 

The smell of the refineries rushes back to me 

And how I loved the lights 

Photos 

Scared but curious, raised up right but furious 

What happens to a fence-scaling girl 

If you catch your pants on top, first you're stuck and then you drop 

You'll look back and first you'll feel the thrill
