 I got speavey conundrums

Yick. Drinking double espresso and listening to the gals talk about their boyfriends.
"He's so cute but he's kinda dumb."
"He wears the same pants every day"
"He won't eat Asian food. Just sandwiches and spaghetti"
"My boyfriend let me go. I didn't even get fired!"

 I got harmonicas

A, B flat, C, D, E, F and G. I guess that covers most situations. 
I don't really know what I'm doing but it doesn't sound too bad. 

 I jacked the trade

    Master of none
  baited a hook
   Jerked it back
  Slept all night
  fish one fish two 
    red fish blue
   five fingered 
  Rosie 
  you wear my ring
 you're alright 


 

 Pray to the sun

   to drive 
us mad crazy
   stubborn stupid
    infantile 
  eating chili dogs 
      and getting suckered
  again
   puttin' on a show
while the dark side rakes it in
  and and and
over and over and over

 down the red road

    spying on 
silk alligators
    crying in the champagne
    Paris 20's 
  Le Dome
    that is gone but 
  now we have Nazis 
  again
     cheerleaders
    and crayfish
      Bottles of 7up
    catch the immigrant!
    feed the anger
      Chipotle promises
not to raise prices for 
   Proud Boys
    Fire the Veteran!
  what have you done for us lately!
    It's all gonna come down 
  On his stupid head
   Call Magua 
  we need some Huron 
   energy up in here


 

 


 sittin' greasy

    grey greedy
 like Natty
    Bumpo
  Nymphs
  in Bumpus Hell
Mt. Lassen 
   smells like sulfur
  Achievers
   On the path
  to sharp glass rocks for miles
  I don't know

 Grey skies

in March
   I got an orange lighter
burn it down
  swamp rat
        go book shopping
             North Beach
          Trieste
      go thrifting
       in Manteca 
       get stoned and eat junk food
      Buy a perfect polyester seersucker 
   try it on for size
   Wear it 
try it
  run down 
  my leg stopped throbbing 
    But it's cold out

 blues playing this am

sunlight shining reflecting 
in my eyes
stop your train
don't you hear me cry
Awhooo

 I woke up 

  and my

Leg
   was throbbing
FUCK
   type 2 diabetes 
are they going to cut my leg off?
Gahd I hope not!
  A1c at 10
  not good
La Dee da

 Sky blue 

    today
what was that?
   oh the garbage man 
  in the alley
someone is painting curbs red
  but they're so obviously not official 
like odd spray paint
  I asked the store owner
he said he had no idea
  and I believe him 

 Say wicked

  say whiner
say hero
  say Sawtooth Mountains
  say my leg hurts
    say hiking boots
  say poorly cooked rainbow trout
dog wouldn't eat it
  turned up his nose
do dogs eat fish?
he's not a cat, dumbass!
   bumpy road past the reservoir
I really just wanted a cigarette 
  But that's how it goes


 

 Don't try the greasy fries

  or eat kale
 and other anti-inflammatory 
   like walnuts
   I'm trying okay
 it's not easy
  being alive
  but it's all about 
    how you play the cards you're dealt
  but it's hard to bluff when they're holding
 a royal flush 
 and you live in Sparks

 Grease Monkey Crybaby 

    Scheming yer bastard lies
but it's just a $5 table
  have a Tareyton 100
   and another Schlitz
  and keep yer head down
   It's cold outside
    and god knows where your wife is
  she ain't here
  that was last week
    she said not to tell you
so I guess I screwed up

 Greasy War Zone

  I'm a left wing cadaver
  but it doesn't matter
   Rubber and eggs
    Sail toward the Midwest
      be a correspondent 
for St.Louis
travel on
     drink red wine
      in hell but
 keep your guard 
    With a 9 MM
     in your briefcase 
 next to the Tylenol

 a greasy idea in heaven 

a million 
don't say it
   perturbed by ideas
    dens of what have you
    Nah you arent being right
      You JUMPED in the pool
         you sly dog 
            with faded overalls
    reaching for the light
  It only took a million years
so what
  wash your jeans
     get right
