Dickin’ Around

Dickin' around on

The south side of town...

...Plunging alleys and dives

Where old cracks

Come alive!...

...Watch bacillus

Come out

When the dark is about...

...Lastly filling the pipes

Of this network of lights...

I'm not making a fuss,

Passing from bus

To bus...

...On a nonconcrete quest

To renounce my gray

Nest.

Dickin' around on

The south side of town...

...Pulling up all

The nails, and

Soil!...

...I could be

Lost for days in

This wrecked altered state...

...I must flee 'fore

The water can boil.
