I WANT TO 

GO FOR A WALK 

WITH SOMEONE 

AND TALK 

ABOUT ALL THE

INSIPID POETRY 

INSPIRED BY 

DEERTRACKS IN THE SNOW 

AND HOW BEER 

LOOKS LIKE PISS 

SO I NEVER TOUCH THE STUFF, 

AND IF 

GETTING EVEN IS 

BAD FOR THE SOUL 

AND HOW EVERYTHING 

COSTS MONEY SO YOU HAVE TO 

STEP OVER 

HOMELESS RIFF-RAFF 

TO DO YOUR 

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING 

AND HOW 

ALL THE 

NECESSITIES ARE OUTSIDE OF US 

SO MY MASTERCARD HAS 

EXCEEDED ITS LIMIT 

AND I'M IN TOO DEEP 

TO CARE 

LET THEM COME AFTER ME 

I CAN USE THE 

ENTERTAINMENT 

AND HOW CUDDLY SEALS ARE EASY

TO LOVE 

SO ACTIVISTS 

TAKE ON 

THE FUR INDUSTRY 

WHILE WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE 

BEING BLUDGEONED TO DEATH 

AND NOBODY'S READING MY BOOKS 

AND HOW I FEEL 

STRONGEST 

WHEN YIELDING 

TO THE WILL 

OF OTHERS 

THOUGH I'M TOLD 

THAT'S 

WRONGHEADED

I CAN'T HELP BELIEVING 

IF YOU FEEL SOMETHING 

THAT MAKES IT 

TRUE AND I KNOW 

THAT THESE BUILDINGS 

HAVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH 

WHATEVER'S 

WRONG WITH ME 

CHROME 

GLASS 

20 STORY 

POPOVER SHOEBOXES 

THAT I 

DON'T EVEN NOTICE 

THOUGH I WALK 

AMONG THEM EVERYDAY 

AND HOW THE 

WORST PEOPLE IN HUMAN HISTORY 

ARE ON THE PLANET 

RIGHT NOW 

PHONY FRIENDSHIP 

BASED ON NUTRI-SYSTEM 

EVERY TIME I ANSWER THE PHONE 

SOMEONE ON THE OTHER END 

TRYING TO SELL ME SOMETHING 

NEWBORN PUPPIES 

LAY DYING 

IN THE GUTTER 

LEFT BEHIND BY SOME 

DYSFUNCTIONAL 

FAMILY 

MEN HAVE FAILED WOMEN 

THE KIDS ARE COMMITTNG 

SUICIDE 

LIKE IT'S TAKING OUT THE TRASH 

WHO KNOWS HOW MANY 

SERIAL KILLERS ARE 

ROAMING THE COUNTRYSIDE 

AT ANY GIVEN TIME 

BUT YOU CAN REST ASSURED 

THEY ALL HAVE 

PLEASANT PERSONALITIES 

WHY? 

BECAUSE THEY KNOW 

THEIR PRIOR 

CONVICTIONS 

CAN'T BE USED 

AGAINST THEM IN COURT 

THEY KNOW A LIFE 

SENTENCE MEANS THEY'LL

BE OUT IN SIX YEARS 

AND I SAW A 

BUMPER STICKER 

THAT SAID 

ASYLUMS ARE REALLY WAREHOUSES 

FOR POOR PEOPLE 

SO WHAT'S THAT MAKE OF 

THE NURSING HOMES 

WE'RE ALL GOING TO

END UP IN 

AND HOW YOU'RE SEEN 

AS JUST ANOTHER 

WHACKO BROAD 

IF YOU DARE TO EXPRESS 

YOUR DISCONTENT 

BECAUSE EVEN EMOTIONS 

ARE MASS PRODUCED NOW 

SO HEY

GET WITH THE PROGRAM 

GET UP 

OFF THE FLOOR 

STEP INTO THE HOLOCAUST 

AND FIND A GOOD JOB 

PERFORMING MENIAL TASKS 

AT MINIMUM WAGES 

SO WE 

CAN LIVE 

BEYOND OUR MEANS 

AND BELOW OUR POTENTIAL 

AND HOW THE ANALYST SAYS 

THIS CAN'T BE 

WHAT'S REALLY BOTHERING ME 

THAT SOMETHING DEEPER 

MUST BE GOING ON 

BUT MY BOTTOM 

LINE SAYS 

I BEEN HERE 

30-ODD YEARS AND 

AM STILL 

WAITING FOR AMERICA 

TO 

HAVE A NICE DAY
