I woke up late again, walked down to the bus stop slumping last night rained buckshot and I barely made it in thinking to myself I can never find space then the bus came late but I left my change, damn left foot, right foot then looks like I’m walking, too much too many folk, too many high, too many low city breathing down your neck then it grabs your throat and it won’t let go but I know this road won’t ever let you be then I saw his heap, is he dead or asleep? tourniquet tied right around his bicep tighter than a vice-grip squeeze his sleeve teeth held the cap of the hypodermic needle arm leg a leg a arm head lay feeble tar make a man look dead like beetle but he’s high like an eagle when he asks for change anything I give him out the venom in his vein send him into heaven courtesy St. James and well, that ain’t my name
