June 22nd – I’ll gas up my hot rod stoker, We’ll get hotter than a poker, You’ll be broke but I’ll be broker, Tonight we’re settin’ the woods on fire.

I haven’t seen Nomadland yet, but perhaps with (temporary) access to funds and some paid employment I’m not so much homeless as camping?

10th June – You wonder why he stands so high, It’s just the space between him and the sky.

25th April – She is wearing rags and feathers, From Salvation Army counters.
