Detroit Annie, hitchhiking
by Judy Grahn
Her words pour out as if her throat were a broken
artery and her mind were cut-glass, carelessly handled.
You imagine her in a huge velvet hat with great
dangling black feathers,
but she shaves her head instead
and goes for three-day midnight walks.
Sometimes she goes down to the dock and dances
off the end of it, simply to prove her belief
that people who cannot walk on water
are phonies, or dead.
When she is cruel, she is very, very
cool and when she is kind she is lavish.
Fisherman think perhaps she’s a fish, but they’re all
fools. She figured out that the only way
to keep from being frozen was to
stay in motion, and long ago converted
most of her flesh into liquid. Now when she
smells danger, she spills herself all over,
like gasoline, and lights it.
She leaves the taste of salt and iron
under your tongue, but you dont mind
The common woman is as common
as the reddest wine.
Read by Ani DiFranco on the Carnegie 2002 live album.
It is complete now the two ends of time are neatly tied
A one-way street, she’s walking to end of the line
And there she meets the faces she keeps in her heart and mind
A one-way street, she’s walking to end of the line
And there she meets the faces she keeps in her heart and mind
They say ‘good bye’ Tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,
They say ‘good bye’ Tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,
They say ‘good bye’ Tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,
Underneath the chilly gray November sky
We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive and
We’re shooting for the moon and smiling Jackie’s driving by and
We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive and
We’re shooting for the moon and smiling Jackie’s driving by and
They say ‘good try’
Tomorrow Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow Wendy is going to die
I told the priest, Don’t count on any second coming
God got his ass kicked the first time he came down here slumming
He had the balls to come, the gall to die and then forgive us
No, I don’t wonder why, I wonder what he thought it would get us
Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die
God got his ass kicked the first time he came down here slumming
He had the balls to come, the gall to die and then forgive us
No, I don’t wonder why, I wonder what he thought it would get us
Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die
Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die
Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die
Only God says jump
So I set the time
‘Cause if he ever saw her
It was through these eyes of mine!
And if he ever suffered it was me who did his crying
Hey hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die
(Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die)
Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die
(Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die)
Tomorrow Wendy’d going to die
Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die
Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die
Tomorrow Wendy’s going to die
Tomorrow Wendys going to die

03:48 <+tamara> we’re still a long way from having true public health ins
03:48 <+tamara> if we get something soon, it will be national private ins most likely
03:49 <+tamara> which won’t cover shit and be really crappy
03:50 <+tamara> the US isn’t the land of the free, it’s the land of the greed
03:50 <+tamara> land of the greed and the land of teh God
03:51 <+tamara> actually, i blame tv more than anything else
03:54 <+tamara> the adult american watches 7 hours of tv per day
03:55 <+tamara> figure that same adult american is in the workplace 9 hours a day
03:55 <+tamara> commutes on average 2 hours a day
03:56 <+tamara> there’s no time left for anything else
03:56 <+tamara> where does that average american get their information?
03:57 <+tamara> if they watch the news, in 2-3 minute segments on the news
03:57 <+tamara> newspapers are failing all over the countery
03:58 <+tamara> the company i work for is owned by a huge publishing company, ________. They just announced the selloff of yet another newspaper
03:58 <+tamara> that’s 3 since i started working for them in may
03:59 <+tamara> people make their decisions based upon information they get in 30 second soundbytes on tv
03:59 <+tamara> it’s a proven fact that you can buy votes with advertising
04:00 <+tamara> what kind of government do we have? is it the one we really want?
04:01 <+tamara> is it the best one we can come to with reason and judgement?
04:04 <+tamara> any american who is smart will stop watching tv and start reading the foreign press
