Middle Ground (2002)   Better Yield Head in a constant spin with my mind racing Concentration slipping like gears stripping Has the mill broke down or is it simply needing Some new grist to grind for a better yield Sitting along and working out bad endings Motivation waning like daylight fading Has the seam run dry or is it simply needing Some experience to mine for a better yield Farmers know that it’s a matter of time And patient action’s not is own reward Do they see some direction that I can’t find In those long lines of golden corn Not an hour to spare, not excuse for sleeping Resignation failing to calm this yearning I was a happy boy, I was not expecting Such a constant struggle for, a better yield
