man.
money is tight
right
what once was cheep is now out of sight
a burger is what i need to keep me straight
but damn a 20 dollar bill is over my head
stay home
watch tv
and even that costs a pretty penny
stare at the smudged wall where the kids used to hang on
and the spot on the step where she dropped the spaghetti plate
and the cob webs in the corner
the note she left before she said hello to her new life
the thought of her happy warms me on this cold October night
the orange sky taunts me like a wax harmonica
i still taste the fruit
in my memories of free wandering in the dying daylight
night bugs approach me as if i was a burger
i know they need to procreate
and maybe now that is my role
food for the bug
ok let it be.
