I wonder
	whether
there is any meaning
	in the
		opening
of the sliding old
	did-it-used-to-be-red?
barn door
-- in its squeaks and
	protests and 
Hello there Bossy
how it lets the world in or
	out
Maybe the old
farmer-on-the-porch-chewin-baccer-watchin-cars-go-by
	Hey I use ta have a Chevy like that
		boy could she run
only knows
	the words
