(now I’ve made him blue)
opalescent gleaming blue
rather radiant
Rather Radiant
Like Chernobyl in the dark
(Counts words carefully…)
Counts words carefully
Buddha, between you and me?
Booted out we’ll be
Booted out? We’ll be
there for you! Here is your sign:
“I Will Work For Food”

I will work for food
waiting outside Balthazar
finding employment
Finding employment
in today’s economy
is a little hard.
Is a little hard
but certainly doable
with perseverance
With perseverance
He crawled to a pay phone and
Spent his last quarter
Spent his last quarter
On a condom, had no cash
Left for the hooker
Left, for the hooker;
Turn right for the liquor store.
What was straight ahead?
What was straight ahead?
The First National Baptist
Church & Cinema.
Church & Cinema.
You think that is so far off?
Better guess again.
Better guess again
Keep some cash for taxi fare
End up who-knows-where
End up who-knows-where?
Watch out for those wormholes, you’ll
End up who-knows-when.
End up who-knows-when
Own a silver car, you’ll go
Back in time again
Back in time again
Like the Pretenders did sing,
Back in the chain gang
Back in the chain gange
And in these prison clothes
We look like zebras.
We look like zebras
But your stripes are horizontal
Mine are vertical
Mine are vertical
undulating north and south
