dog years: Five Years Ago
Five years ago I have come for you
Five years ago I was a Dutch banker
Five years ago I wrote Ode to a Grecian Urn
Five years ago I couldn't talk
Five years ago eggs were smooth in my hand
Five years ago cars couldn't kill me
Five years ago the pine trees bent and kissed the ground
Five years ago I cut carpet full of sewage
Five years ago the place was deserted
Five years ago we moved the fridge
Five years ago black as night
Five years ago they took my breast
Five years ago I walked fifty miles
Five years ago we smoked codeine in our pipes
Five years ago yellow jackets couldn't breathe in water
Five years ago bulbs were clear
Five years ago I devoted twenty years
Five years ago we drove across the desert
Five years ago DeGaulle returned
Five years ago we changed our name
Five years ago a sharp blow to the skull
Five years ago our son was born
Five years ago they survived the blast
Five years ago you think you're pretty smart?
Five years ago I watched him cry on the Verrazano Bridge
Five years ago she dropped the baton
Five years ago I stole a picture from her purse
Five years ago the ocean was the next big thing
Five years ago ask me where I saw it last
Five years ago you couldn't buy a clue
Five years ago he never listens to me
Five years ago the gas pump caught fire
Five years ago you were proud
Five years ago I held you, like a copper pipe broken in the cold
Five years ago you kicked off the covers
Five years ago it cost a dollar
Five years ago three thousand couldn't have known
Five years ago it was all the same
Five years ago it was finished
Five years ago my side was splitting
Five years ago the Nile is brilliant saliva
Five years ago caskets were built to last
Five years ago your father made my watch
Five years ago he sang off key
Five years ago we lived in the same room
Five years ago was five years ago was five years ago we lived
