Bye Bye

Falling off the sidewalk

Walking off my sidewalk in the dead of the afternoon,

To much dismay of an unwary policeman,

Not seen and unforgotten,

Salivation for another gland,

l wonder where he took off to,

And why the bounce felt so good,

Not like it was clean or anything,

A touch of something naughty and stale,

To remember me by,

I wonder if he went home and cried,

I almost hit a civilian trying to walk somewhere,

Damn it,

What is wrong with the rest of the world,

That I have to do something like that in haste and laziness,

There I go again.

Blackout
