War Story Hellos - Cast Spells

We knew the content roots of trees we knew

Were half grinning at the coughing cylinders

And while conversing with clouds we spoke up far too loud

And got swept beneath the mower blades of the paralyzed old plow

War story hellos

War story hellos

We mouthed tragic relations between

The spaces and the vowels

And we slipped under the mower blades

Of the paralyzed old plow

And I know its not your fault

But it doesn’t make much sense

To pose all your living relatives

Close with all your deceased friends but

War story hellos

War story hellos

You knew

That drawing chalk lines would only bring flowing floods

And you knew

We knew the content roots of trees we knew

Were half laughing at the sounds they heard above

And while conversing with clouds we spoke up far too loud

And got swept beneath the mower blades of the paralyzed old plow
