Crazy Man's Outfit
~~~
Look at that outfit
little day-pack
bigger back-pack
side by side like a couple of tombstones
there at the head of my rack
which is the top bunk
the bigger pack swankly wearin’ my hat ~ soiled
and crummy of course
with a teen magazine centerfold of Kristen Stewart
hanging on the wall watching over
this poor old homophobic man’s outfit
all under the fucked-up asbestos ceiling of
this poor old mission
oh & there’s a sprinkler head up there too
ready to go off at the slightest sign of fire
everything I need in the world
right here &
with not a penny in my pocket
or a job to which to go
ho ho ho…
