Warmed over coffee






WARMED OVER, DAY OLD, COFFEE

Not bad
but not good either
sitting in my gaunch
with an itchcy unshaven face

JJ Cale on the sound track
an artist gone
that i wish
we could have back

Cause Momma don't allow
but it don't matter anyhow
and we catch it
when it comes around on the guitar

cloudy morning
and the traffic outside my window
crawls along
stop, start stop start

and I ponder a trip
to get a new Granta
even though ihave
older copies I still haven't read

although the atmosphere seems
calm
the noise and confusion
behind these eyes isn't

my pad
is a shit pit of dirty laundry
and bits and pices of
redunent cast off electronic toys

but I will do almost anything
to avoid
having to
fold laundry

no more excises
whom ever waits
is among
the losers
