i'm ailing mama
forgive me
if i double my dosage
pretty don't last
as long as rent does
and the bars about to close
the jukebox has only one tune
left unheard
and i stabbed a man dead
for his coin
stuck him slow
and sure
listening
as his breath leaked itself out
til sleep
my old man said there were sounds
that could make a man not sleep right
the last song is about to go on
leave me in this five minutes mama
to cry alone and smile
when they come round
in the morning for me
know it was the pretty
that lead your child
