nothing better than dead fish

i'm sitting, square in the middle of every day
awkwardly tilted to the left
miranda rights and all
i'm not sure they'll find me yet

crates and barrels along the sewer path
dead fish buried amongst the poor and
trodden down
the ones they couldn't eat, you know
the lady frowned and burned her stockings
couldn't go to the loo so quickly
she said

i jazzed up some concoction
held it up to the sky
winked at my neighbor
and drank slowly

you see
it's passion that buries the hatchet
creates wonder and joy
not a schilling or a cent
a mental journey folds
in the town near my birth

one, two, three
four
you

adt

short hills, nj
