It could?

How long (has this been going on)?
          - Paul Carrack (Ace)

Nonchalance. Then trying something else. As mediocre.
OK, exiting after the thunderstorm.
That was a good start.
Capturing the moon in the emptiness between two branches?
That was good, too.
The conversation jump-started with you
bringing up - again - Woodstock.
Why did you keep returning to the image of a church?
There was no church. Ask around. No church.
And the hamlet?
Peaked about 25 years ago. Ask.
By the time we got there, the fences had been trampled,
and they were talking people down from the towers.
Yes, I heard you mention the thunderstorm,
and remember some guy doing acrostics.
The Star Spangled Banner.
The act ending mid-stride with you trying to sort things out.
Forget it, you found a silver (sand) dollar and a fob of sorts.
A dawning? Who knew?
He said it was about a band member
but that's not the way it's been written up.
So what does it look like to you? In retrospect?
A younger version of the reader disentangling the writer?
