following the absurd trail

color inside of the linesÂ
place the child inside of the boxÂ
and close the lid securelyÂ
lock the claspÂ
whisper to her through the box Â
doesn't she want to be likedÂ
doesn't she want to be prettyÂ
and popularÂ
dress only this wayÂ
and speak only that wayÂ
be skinnyÂ
color inside of the fucking linesÂ
or we will eat youÂ

can you point me to the creek?Â
if you tookÂ
all the so-called intellectuals in this townÂ
and laid them out longwaysÂ
end to endÂ
head to footÂ
they wouldn't reach halfwayÂ
to the sweet part of putah creekÂ
you could add all their advanced degreesÂ
and still fall shortÂ
let's try thisÂ
we'll follow their absurd trail as far as we canÂ
and from there we'll just listenÂ
for the sound of rushing waterÂ
-james lee jobe
