BETWEEN THE SEXES
|
||
|
|
||
|
There's this little kid down the stree,
|
||
|
cute, maybe two, her mother always
|
||
|
dressin' her like a doll. Older kids
|
||
|
come 'round all the time an' play too.
|
||
|
Always some big scene ona porch.
|
||
|
One day this boy, maybe three or four,
|
||
|
stops by with his dad. The kids play.
|
||
|
I ain't got nothin' better to do so I watch.
|
||
|
About ten minutes later, outa the blue,
|
||
|
I mean there ain't no way to see it comin',
|
||
|
the little girl whacks the boy ona head
|
||
|
with a toy telephone, then she pinches
|
||
|
his cheek an' tries to bite. Jeez.
|
||
|
I'm waitin' for the kid to lay her out,
|
||
|
but he's a gentle soul an' just stands there
|
||
|
like his feelin's hurt an' nothin' else.
|
||
|
His ole man finally picks him up,
|
||
|
takes him home. I only hope
|
||
|
he tells that kid to watch out, stay away,
|
||
|
once them women get an early start,
|
||
|
you ain't got no chance at all.
|
||
|

WHAT AM I, A WEATHERMAN?
|
||
|
|
||
|
It got so cold last night
|
||
|
I thought I saw snow on the trees.
|
||
|
It's the end of May fahcrissake!
|
||
|
Ina morning I take a closer look,
|
||
|
see it ain't nothin' but flowers
|
||
|
dyin' on the dogwood tree.
|
||
|
Just goes to show you
|
||
|
what you see is what you feel
|
||
|
an' it ain't necessarily real.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Believe me, I could tell you stories 'bout that
|
||
|
but you heard enough of them already.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
SO LONG
|
||
|
|
||
|
There ain't no givin' up in me.
|
||
|
No matter how I wanna lay down, let go
|
||
|
I keep poppin' up, strokin' for shore.
|
||
|
Talk about shipwreck, jeez,
|
||
|
whales ain't seen so many.
|
||
|
|
||
|
But today ain't a day to think about the dead.
|
||
|
The sun's sharp, cuttin' clean shadows
|
||
|
against the concrete stoops, telly poles, an' fences.
|
||
|
The ole guy down the block is pumpin' Italian music
|
||
|
out to the street where folks is strollin, smilin',
|
||
|
some even wavin' to kids across the way.
|
||
|
I give you there's a cold wind but winter
|
||
|
she's gone to some other country.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
MY CAT FREDDIE KAT
|
||
|
|
||
|
There's this gray tiger-stripe,
|
||
|
left ona street, just a kitten.
|
||
|
So I pick her up an' she squeaks
|
||
|
real pitiful like an' I take her home.
|
||
|
Make a space, buy food, litter, all that.
|
||
|
She's not much on gratitude,
|
||
|
but she's a good cat an' gives me space too.
|
||
|
We go our own way much of the time.
|
||
|
But in the evenin' when I'm feelin' easy
|
||
|
an' in that rockin' chair, she hops on my lap,
|
||
|
paws an' curls, then hums that sweet lullabye
|
||
|
we both end up dozin' to.
|
||
|
That's what I call good pussy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
DREAMS YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT
|
||
|
|
||
|
Damn night visitors struck again.
|
||
|
This time my ex-wife was raped.
|
||
|
Twice. She tells me about it
|
||
|
after we make love. Jeez,
|
||
|
I say, didn't you go to the hospital
|
||
|
or nothin', maybe call the police?
|
||
|
No, she says, I just came home to you.
|
||
|
But, I says, why are you so calm
|
||
|
an' only tellin' me after we do it?
|
||
|
She shrugs. I can't figure it out.
|
||
|
I mean, I start to say somethin' but give up
|
||
|
not knowin' what to think.
|
||
|
She sighs. I fumble in the dark for a cigarette
|
||
|
knowin' there ain't been any ina house for 20 years.
|
||
|
Maybe, she says, I want you to have what I caught
|
||
|
so we could always be together.
