nah
you haven’t had the pleasure yet
I knew Mrs. Heep
she canned her fruit in a cellar
she was nice
she was ninety plus
gentle hands
soft skin
tender smile
I loved her bunches
one day she left
a week later Mr. Heep did too
their clapboard hut
it was closed down
the white fence too
that was hard for me
I never got to say goodbye
goodbye Mr. & Mrs. Heep
you made a difference
at least for me, ya did
I needed you two
my family’s house was crazy
then there was the bicycle man
an Ed Wynn look-alike
could fix any bike
any
he had 100 bikes stashed for parts
we’d talk for long stretches
I never told him stuff
especially not about the collared guy
he would have been too sad and cried with me
I didn’t want that
even as a boy I knew good.
the bike man
he was good
never hurt a soul
lived alone
we were his life
stopping by lifted his spirits
the old neighborhood
we all have one
the world over
all races
all places
yea
then I met Jesus one day
Texas
I don’t know about you
but Jesus is close
close like cellophane close
every minute
what He did for us, well,
you can read about it
it’s believing about it
that’s the wind
the hush
the closeness
the long walks
and talks
He’s a friend
tags along wherever ya go
asks little
just that you tell folks
His Father draws them in
they get a choice
a chance
He’s like Ed Wynn and Mrs. Heep all rolled into one, times a million
