MAN OF MEANS (3:01)
lived with dreams so long he is practically
dream himself, dream himself, wise to the ways
of men; now a trader on the old silk road,
now a horseman on the Mongolian plains,
cooking up rice in a pot; now a shepherd boy,
now part goat at the end of a tethered rope, wise
to the ways of men, tethered to man, innocent
beyond the ordinary measures of innocence; wishing
he was a man of means, a soldier perhaps,
parceling out mercy like bullet spray, a holy con man
with a basket full of snakes and a clarinet,
yes a man of means, a rich man walking straight and
narrow through crooked city streets, looking
neither left nor right, carrying a rich man's cane in one
hand and his sex in the other, offering small coins
to street children, liberally, orphans and urchins to left
and to right; no one to stop him from giving it all
away or hanging on for dear life, the things he can no
longer possess, the things he must hold fast to,
his dignity, his loyalty to friends, the silent weeping song
rising in his throat when he sees a pretty peasant
girl on cobblestones calling out the price of olive oil,
with skin the color of wheat, and goat-eyes for
every man in the market square, a shepherd boy, a soldier,
a thief, part goat at the end of a tethered rope,
tethered to man, innocent beyond the ordinary measures
of men; and wishing he was a man of means,
having lived with dreams so long he is practically dream
himself, dream himself, wise to the ways of men.
From MAN OF MEANS, fifth album of songs with lyrics from poems by George Wallace, brought to musical life with AI/Digital assistance, Feb 2026.
