park bench

dear landlord

you were swaying on your feet

trying to light a smoke

waiting on a bus

you got nowhere to go

you were sleeping in the park in a dirty sweatpants suit

the cops woke you up

now you gotta move

walking around wearing a motorcycle helmet

up and down the same streets you walked yesterday

wild irish rose can make a mean world almost decent

it's an illusion handcuffs quickly take away

there ain't enough room in this city for a guy who

wants to drink himself to sleep under the stars

there will always be some shit bag to remind you

right where you are

right where you are.
