HANDSHAKES AND HEARTACHES
DAVE THE POET

What’s it worth
If it ain’t free
Common sense
That confuses me
There is no time
To settle down
Bloody thorns
On a peasant’s crown
Learn to anticipate
Handshakes and Heartaches

Live inside a diamond
Cast the first stone
A Disney World grotto
Full of elected serial killer bones
Third base, Ain’t home plate
Learn to anticipate
Handshakes and Heartaches

Lay down on the earth
Sleep under the moon
Listen to nature screaming
A silent tune
Rebuild whatever you break
Learn to anticipate
Handshakes and Heartaches
