cut it out marty cry the children
we know it's you and not some ghost
or weird zombie creature nobody ever heard of
just good ol marty

if only you believe in miracles,
so would I
even as a spirit in the trees you 1) can't get your tenses straight and
2) have a super pretty voice

but here is the thing about marty balin in the trees
and the children who shrug off his little ghost game:
they all listen to the same new record when they go to sleep tonight
on the floor of the forest

that record is by jacob newman and it is called reflections and diffusions,
available on the earth mantra label which gives its records away for free
about that title by the way
one day

I will hire some death metal guys
to write titles for the albums of the new age guys
to stop the new age guys
from using words like "reflections"

and then we will all walk through the dark woods
meditating on what we've learned
cut it out marty
we know it's you
