Scissortail With No Wings (Way Of The Wind) I George Wallace & Electronic Friends

SCISSORTAIL WITH NO WINGS (WAY OF THE WIND) (3:58) Men and women, drinking from a ladle, women and men, smoking, sweating, motor oil purring, oil cans rattling, new steel bent to the old soil groaning, soul of earth so old, so old, women and men, and boys and men and girls, dream-weaving in rows of corn, miles of corn and the crew chief calling; And landscape, and landscape, root rakes box and blade, belts and ax handles and axle grease, sawgrass and casual glances, all the bristling wheat, men in hollows cursing, radiators boiling, tarpaper, tarpit, mending wheel, bank of earth, shirts undone, deep dusk, deeper sun; Scissortail with no wings (scissortail with no wings) And the landscape and bees, eyes of fishermen patient, patient, eyes of children, bee-language a continent wide, cloud high to the sun, the delicate blue body of earth, and all the crouching angels, burlap sacks, a widow by a slow moving stream, tall grass, the way of the sky, spider wort, prairie smoke cut through drape upon drape, wheel ruts west, a century of going, going, remaining behind, bent pistons, sparks flying, welcoming wind; Tugging at a jet trail which tugs at a scissortail, hawk and kestrel, whitetail deer, nest of wasps; and women and women and men, landscape, sound of a landscape, two flies buzzing in rising heat, locusts stung with scorpion tail, a widow by a slow moving stream in tall grass, the way of the sky, spider wort, prairie smoke cut through drape upon drape, wheel ruts west, a century of going, going, remaining behind, among bent pistons, sparks flying in the blameless wind; This landscape, this tall sunlight in a taller sky, nation of grass, bank of earth, shirts undone, deep dusk, deeper sun; scissortail (scissortail scissortail scissortail) scissortail with no wings (scissortail with no wings) From BOOTSTRAP MAN, an album of songs with lyrics from poems by George Wallace, brought to musical life with AI/Digital assistance, Jun 2026. #georgewallacepoet
