Everything Is Broken

New Town, North Dakota, March 2006

Broken bottles, broken plates,
Broken switches, broken gates,
Broken dishes, broken parts,
Streets are filled with broken hearts.
Broken words never meant to be spoken,
Everything is broken.

NPRA, Bismarck, ND, February 2005

Bridge: Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground

Atlantic City, New Jersey, January 2006

Broken cutters, broken saws,
Broken buckles, broken laws,
Broken bodies, broken bones,
Broken voices on broken phones.
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
Everything is broken.

"Everything is Broken," Bob Dylan from Oh Mercy (1989)
