Once a year for practice

The hills have turned to green again

So knock back a round or six, and fix

The exaggerated chapters

That missed the calls for months

The novelty of the nation

Gather “privately” for all on screens

Shade the Heat by the Trees, Tall Cans, the DJ, girls with their skin sweet

Frolic by sprinklers spraying multihued patterned streams

Soon the coal will char the steel, 

Convey heat to compressed bodies

To beat the meat they eat

Under pressured jaws and teeth of the city’s "high elite"

Be True

It’s the Family Reunion

All the Kids have gathered

To celebrate today and say

Farewell to one more year

Ciao to the emerging time

To hugs and to handshakes

They’ll Drink it all away

Catch Up with Ketchup

And rekindle broken ties of lives in lies and lines of times that fly

Trying too hard to be sliced from the same hind

A rendezvous location gives a pair some time to work

And create the setting for seeds to feed the crop of weeds

Exchanges interrupted by wondering eyes on call

To see and be seen here

Its the currency machine to pay your monthly fee to...

Be True

It’s the Family Reunion

All the Kids have gathered

To celebrate today and say

Farewell to one more year

Ciao to the emerging time

To hugs and to handshakes

They’ll Drink it all away

As the day’s DJ spins his final tune

The cork flys out the thin bottled neck

Success in the sale of consent is blessed

By them the muses who think they're here to save the west

Be True

It’s the Family Reunion

All the Kids have gathered

To celebrate today and say

Farewell to one more year

Ciao to the emerging time

To hugs and to handshakes

They’ll Drink it all away
