Very much vodka and too much tequila: those are the ways | |
I learned to deal. | |
Across against the light and the sleet scalds my sight, stunned | |
I stayed put and a billboard truck runs over my foot. | |
So things are really hopping; and my unemployment’s stopping; and my kitty cat’s copping; and | |
I need to forget. | |
So I go to the window and smell a cigarette. | |
Now I’m in the clutches of my crutches: | |
I’m laid up, and | |
I sip from my cup, and | |
I look outside. | |
And I see | |
Christopher | |
Hyde-who just got divorced, and there’s a restraining order enforced-going in his ex-wife’s garage. | |
I’m just drunk enough to open the window, yell out gruff: “ | |
Don’t you key that brand-new | |
Camry.” And he gave me the cursor, “ | |
Damn,” returning to the spot he was, “ | |
Mind your own business you!” | |
And I wag my finger, “ | |
You’re not doing what you’re supposed to do.” | |
And then he’s coming toward me, and | |
I took a swig of my tequila ‘cause it made me feel a little nervous as he started across against the light: but he didn’t look to his right as he didn’t stay put. | |
And a billboard truck came and ran over his foot. | |
And the cops responding called out to me, “ | |
Hey is this your cat?” “ | |
Yeah, but sometimes it forgets. | |
Ah, wait a minute. | |
I gonna come out there and smell a couple a cigarettes.” | |
Don’t you hurry-worry with me… |
