I walk the streets wondering
'why me? ' I'm pathetic as I 
head into the bar to gulp
my fill of Coors(Lite) . 'They'
all look at me and I flip
them the bird. They chuck 
me out on the sidewalk with
a wet head. Coors(Lite)   
drips
into my eyes and tears
flow out of them. I stroll
back in for some peanuts
with my black eye. And 
Johnny says 'Why're you
back in here, Dork? '
My red checkered shirt
is ripped, 
and I say 'I'm hungry
for some a them there
peanuts, and I need a 
Coors (Lite) .' They all 
chuckle, 
and throw cigarette
butts at me, but I get
to the peanuts with a 
growlin' in my gut.
I stumble to the jukebox
and pull up Rainy Day
Women 12@35, and I
scream as loud as I
can, 'ONE OF YOU
FU*KERS GIMME 
A QUARTER! '                
Brought to mind Keroauc's - October in the railway earth - I like.
