Last of the Evergreens
Jen de la Osa, Henry Beguiristain
There's a saying I once heard
About moments like this…
Photographs replaced the paintings
And all our memories
And the New York writers grieve
They all seem to concede
We're the last of the evergreens
We shut down all the billboards
Advertising love and truth
While they drained the concealer
From the fountains of our youth
And a retrospective film
Warned us of our present ills
We're the last of the evergreens
They can burn down all the trees
We'll continue planting seeds
We're the last of the evergreens
We're the last of the evergreens
