FANCY NANCY WENT FREE


The food mart turned almost fancy.

The food mart bulged full.

I bought seedy bagels for Nancy

As she made her way to school.


The food mart bulged full.

Nancy had "Deacon Blues" in her ears

As she made her way to school.

I see myself expanding the elementary years.


Nancy had "Deacon Blues" in her ears

As a blistering sun filled her face.

I see myself expanding the elementary years

That Nancy desperately wants to erase.


As a blistering sun filled her face,

I wrap my thoughts into a philosophical ball

That Nancy desperately wants to erase.

The food mart closed its doors in the Fall.
