one night at the wayside

"i saw your sister down at the Wayside cutting

chances into glances like she was the original

midnight dancer, understand?"


"that may be true but she ain't been seen

with you..."


"my choice fella gotta whole lotta other 

visions on my mind this rocky eve, if you

know what i mean..."


"no kidding, i'm skidding on outta here

before those two a.m.  mayhem stratagems

force their fire down my throat but catch

this Mr. Bliss -- you keep your face away

from my sister, mister..."


"oh now, just ain't you too baaaaaaad?"

the point on the edge that turns

  when it isn't enough to be weird when it isn't enough to be funny reality gathering speed pleads for shelter and just enough money...
