one time, I was
so home...less
had to step out
put my name on a list
too much of a bum
to get a kiss, still
here they come
out of the dark...ness
coming at me, so fast
that the impact, could hurt
tried to tell 'em, it won't work
if you ain't got a house nor home
to put me in, you might as well go on
leave me alone again, not even a dog
wants a meatless bone
working labor hard, had to eat
enough to pick something out
of my teeth, when the rain came down
had to weep, in so much disbelief
look what happened to me
couldn't see through all the misery
inside it was always drizzling
like post nasal drip, nose running
so allergic to the average ish
tissue in my pocket, to stop it
