Striped like a candy cane,<br />
lit by a hand of flames<br />
Snout like a baseball bat,<br />
stuck out long and flat<br />
Just there to see the sight,<br />
just hanging out at night<br />
Eyes grope the swollen face,<br />
feeling strangely out of place<br />
Walking with sandpaper soles,<br />
too afraid to venture home<br />
Just the second in command,<br />
upward eyes and spotted hands<br />
Blind and loyalty’s intact,<br />
philosophies are based in fact<br />
Keeping watch on the distance,<br />
feeding off a nervous penchant<br />
Breath in the chilling air<br />
disappears away with care<br />
Days-a-Wastin’<br />
Like the last granules of sand –<br />
these are days-a-wastin’!<br />
Grease monkey on a bridge<br />
knows the password, knows which way to go<br />
Cold junkie on a ledge<br />
holds his heart, contemplates the jump<br />
Warm body on a bed<br />
flushes away the fears, regroups for tomorrow<br />
A hot head gathers steam –<br />
she knows there’s a train-a-comin’<br />
