walking along rock bottom on a tuesday evening
i was surprised to meet every guy i know
each had an excuse about this or that girl
and how the changes they made were life-changing

the restless miracle of a sunset chance
was that guys too busy to find their time
were meeting at the corner of bitch and whine
to mumble the epic of their untold greatness

i put throbbing headphones in my ears
and tightened the scarf around my neck
this sausage crowd was a pillaged wreck
that not even sea beasts would scavenge for dinner
