Common Man

You've a funny gate my friend,
I don't mean to offend..
have you broken something recently?

it's of little concern, thank you
in a while, maybe you'll see
won't be needin' it anyway.  
   
Can't make out what your saying,
or what you mean.., have you lost 
your voice, can't you speak?

yes, though I daren't above a whisper
though I'd hoped one day to- 
afraid they'll be comin' for me. 

Sorry really, don't want to intrude,
couldn't help but notice your bleeding-
down your arm onto your shoe.. 

a little pained, common peered at the wound, 
said he, don't pay it no mind
just the rent that's due.
