Just one more. Grief and hugs for the Manhattan Project and all that followed. For Raymond and Michael.

Canary got trapped the uranium mine
I struck bad luck now the bird has died
A marker to mark where my tears run dry
At the crossing of blessed and alkali

My story is a sad one told many times
A story of my life in trying times
Just add water stir in lime
How the west was won and where it got us

I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain
Now I can't see anything
I made a mistake chalked it up to design
I crack through timespace godless and dry
I point my nose to the northern star
watch the decline from a hazy distance

My story is a sad one told many times
A story of my life in trying times
Just add water stir in lime
How the west was won and where it got us

Aaaahhhh
