young lady
ask me today
"what time is it?"

looked at my wrist
and said
"damn
left my clock at home

said
"the sun's been up
since sunup
think it's past noon
and soon
you'll see the moon"

she said
"i get off at 3"

"is that am or pm
and what does that mean to me?"

"well,
i could use a ride home."
suggestively speakin'
i knew what she was seekin'

"hell
home is where the heart is"
or is it where the hard is?
hard ta'tell, yup it tis.

"i'll be here tomorrow"
she said romantically. coyly
suggestively

"i know."
said me
i pay the bills
"if you got time ta' kills...
well, hell
we can spend a spell
never can tell
i might remember your name...
but all the same..."

"it's half past 2pm"

'do not ask me what day it is...
lost last week
a year ago..."
and so my life go
