stolen identity 

                 of a nation

   Not the Chickasaw

   what was your walkup music 

 Ripple?  

                        you hippie 

The Joker

                                                 (no scratch that)

 I'm moving through this 

                  The here and now 

                                       where is that? 

I am the whistle that blows 

                                 something blows 

I closed that window

                    at 3 am 

                          and now you tell me 

                                                      but that's water through the screen  

   our indentities

 are mired 

     we flail about 

                                               knowing shit 

and still you've 

GOT to be kidding me 

 but NO 

  it's true and 

                                                                the Arapaho walkup music 

         was completely racist 

                                             I gave him three cigarettes 

and then drank too much

                                                          still the bed was comfortable 

what to do now?
