*********

I was real tired that morning Tried the trolley Not the subway Couldn’t find a seat So I had to stand All the way So much for public transporation . . . ` Anger came with no warning Life is folly Tried to punch my way Just got beat in my retreat An old man Exiting got in my way In the collision banking on litagation . . . I heard him say “Son, you’s got to walk it through the day Your destination come soon enough Don’t hurry your life away Just give me one second - one step That’s all it takes for me To get out of your way.” I got real sleepy by midday Yawning my life away Took a cab Scraped off my scabs Shake a leg I begged it to go away Spreading the infiltration that I knew would turn into an infection. . . Then I remembered what the old man say "Don’t hurry your life away Just give me one second - one step That’s all it takes for me To get out of your way.” DWB © MMX All Rights Reserved
