He was only misguided
some say
fragile, with an awkward sense
listening to the music in his head
bumping down the street, seizure like

passer-by-ers they no need to understand
his own world
his own time
yes’um it was his alright

picking grubs and hook’n ‘em clean
at the fishing hole
every Sunday
no church
God played in his music

they say Bobby was misguided

He may have been misguided. He also may have known God better than anyone in that sanctimonious sanctuary, mightn't he? The God I know is comfortable in both places, and much more likely to be felt down at the fishin' hole, if you remember to say hello to Him there.
