Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Maybe
Drunk on the new
Drunk off a fifth of whisky
I sang in the streets
Convinced I had found my twin
Convinced I was in love
With the smell of magnolia
With the near-morning dew
I galloped the streets smiling
Like some conquering northern general
Riding by the sad bronze face of
Robert E. Lee - a statue
Staring into the past forever while
I sang in the sunrise streets
Of a new New Orleans
