OLD DUKE
His mother's wishes are bubbles in a styrofoam cup
To you that ain't nothing but for Old Duke that's enough
Look at you, well-to-do
Man you sure are tough
You think you've got it hard
But Old Duke's had it rough
He's got one coat for the summer and a-one for the cold
And wherever Duke goes he drags them both in tow
He carrys on like a fighter whose been staggered by blows
You think you got hit hard
But Old Duke he sure knows
Out of all God's children he never was picked first
No win no place no show for this raggedy old horse
Akin...

YOU MUST HAVE MEANT A LOT TO ME
carrying everything
that was yours
in suitcases
backpacks and
shopping bags
you struggled out
onto the porch and
you slammed that
front door shut
with your foot
but before I could lock it
you burst back inside
threw my house key at
my head while still
screaming your
vicious mantra
I'M DONE
I'M DONE
I'M DONE
the second time you
slammed the door so
hard that pictures
fell from the walls
I locked the door
and sat down
in the kitchen
drank two
bottles of wine
good wine
...

Bad Pennies
Those good times are gone
So I leave them alone
Green copper pennies
That I left in the road
Isn't it funny how now that we see
If we'd saved just a few for us - you and me
How much more we'd have been in the end
How much richer we still would be
No matter how hard we cry
How we say don't say goodbye
Our favorite lovers and friends always find
Warm hiding places to lay down and die
After everything's taken away
They'll leave the things nobody wants
The screams, the sneers, and the taunts
This house as a...
So I leave them alone
Green copper pennies
That I left in the road
Isn't it funny how now that we see
If we'd saved just a few for us - you and me
How much more we'd have been in the end
How much richer we still would be
No matter how hard we cry
How we say don't say goodbye

Warm hiding places to lay down and die

Never Be Lonely
We will break before I bend
I will stand before I kneel
But you will never understand
How heartache really feels
So I'll pay for the movin'
I will bid you good adieu
After all a man's a man
And men do what men do
Your tears are like a crocodile's
Your heart as cold as ice
I'm a child to a woman's wiles
But I won't go through this twice
And I might go alone
But I won't be lonely
Even though you were
My one and only
I bought everything that you sold me
Believed in every lie that you told me
But me, I will...
I will stand before I kneel
But you will never understand
How heartache really feels
So I'll pay for the movin'
I will bid you good adieu
After all a man's a man
And men do what men do
Your tears are like a crocodile's
Your heart as cold as ice
I'm a child to a woman's wiles
But I won't go through this twice
And I might go alone
But I won't be lonely
Even though you were
My one and only
I bought everything that you sold me
Believed in every lie that you told me
But me, I will...

Chicken For Breakfast
Woke up late Sunday morning in a mid-July
Had a hanker for some chicken and scrambled on the side
My woman good with the oven when she put it inside
Or she can boil up her oil and make it deep-fried
So I kicked that old lady clear out of our bed
Told her I was so hungry I was out of my head
You grab me one of them chickens and a bunch of them eggs
And I'll have me some breasts and some thighs and legs
Now look at that cock
Look at that cock go
He shimmy and he shake
While he go to and fro
Used to be a little pecker
But...

DANDELIONS
sucking down the violent rain
while locked in a kiss
the grass tickling your back and
my lips forcing your mock smile
as dandelions snag in your
matting hair like a crown
my knees and elbows
piston through black mud
pitiless inexhaustible engines
forcing your shoulders to tear
up roots disturbing silver
moonlight hardback beetles
I will
put sod back down tomorrow but
that is in honor of the cockcrow
which demands I should be sorry
and I will not be shackled
until this miracle is...

One Side Of The Story
Hey! I am NOT going THERE with YOU!
NO I am NOT wearing THAT!
YOU wanna do WHAT?
I DON'T want one of THOSE!
WHY would I EVER do THAT for YOU?
YOU wanna go WHERE?
NO NO NO, I AM NOT.
I am NOT calling my boyfriend!
- - -
WHAT is the matter with you?
I don't understand you, honey...
Don't you love me anymore?
Can't we talk about it?
Why are you so withdrawn?
NO I am NOT wearing THAT!
YOU wanna do WHAT?
I DON'T want one of THOSE!
WHY would I EVER do THAT for YOU?
YOU wanna go WHERE?
NO NO NO, I AM NOT.
I am NOT calling my boyfriend!

WHAT is the matter with you?
I don't understand you, honey...
Don't you love me anymore?
Can't we talk about it?

One Hell Of A Whiskey Aftermath
Gordon
and Reena had
thrown a big party
the night before and
all that whiskey and wine
and laughter and madness
the whole place blue
with cigarette smoke and
Harold
who had really
tied one on after trying to
retain a girlfriend by
drying out for
three weeks had
finally been imprisoned
upstairs and forced to
give up his keys and
stay the night but
Gordon
even when drunk
would have these
crazy dreams of wild
wild sex with
with women he had never
seen before and
just before...
