lyrics

“I’m passably wiser now
ostensibly lean
simply a modicum
a bean
a little wiser now and then”

The train was nearly empty as I neared the end
The platform empty too except for a woman
reading the news on a bench near the ticket booth
She ignored me so I ignored her too

In his letter he had asked my to bring some bread
which I had planned to buy in the city but found a shop in town instead
Figured he would like something he was used to better anyway

Oh me!
How I’ve dreaded this visit
this awkward stop in life
this walk down the road to the house
that’s gone decrepit over the years
through this door that could use better hinges
to this room
to him standing there

“Did you bring the bread?”
A little wiser now and then
We smiled and shook hands
A little wiser now and then
