ohio stretches like a lie

toward the plains and

promises of the west

to the sleepy south

below the cool green

east and the endless

forests of the north

roads lead in or away

roads lead in or away

ohio is a heart that no

longer beats kept alive

by trains pumping its

crisscrossing veins and

sad eyed summer

slaves to the catsup trade

roads lead in or away

roads lead in or away

ohio dead or dying no

arrow filled sebastian

merely an unavoidable

swamp that continuously

tries to refill itself with the

muck long removed

roads lead in or away

roads lead in or away
