michael praytor, five years later

it was the opposite of 'fire and rain'

you know the song

i never thought i'd see this guy again

but i was wrong

oh

every five years

since 1972 when at recess

he recruited me to try to kick

the church down to the ground

michael praytor

so random

who knows why some satellites

come by and by

while others disappear

into the sky

good morning

mirror

break the change to me

i tried to stay too close to see

that there's a pattern in the tiles

and a fool who marks the miles

it was long hair

and this time it was no hair

seeming thin

divorced

inspired

engaged in chemo

born again and fired

michael praytor

so random

who knows why some satellites

come by and by

while others disappear

into the sky

disappear into the sky

hey

at hanes mall parking lot at 5am

i saw him sleeping in his car

i've been up all night from new york

bumming out on 95

now i'm 30 and we all live with our parents

and my wife
