Boy With a Dime
There was this dream
Of going to Mars
Of going to the Moon
Of going to tomorrow
Not because it was easy
Because it was hard
But with just a dime
It took more than a dream
More than an equity mortgage
And dollars to donuts men in suits
It took vision and innocence
Innocence lost when they raised the price of
Ten cent candy
To two fifty-nine.
