A Leavin Jones

A Leaving Jones

 

I’m leaving when

With where I go the darkness is stained by holy robes

I’m leaving where

I’m caught taking notes in church while the better man

Disciplines his child for laughing at me

 

I’m taking the dirt free leave

I’m leaving mystery, my friend misery

Just a girl I used to play with

In her basement

 

I’m leaving while the sun is out

I mean it, you will all have seen it

After my leaving…

I’m leaving what water was mud. I’m serious like

I’m leaving for blood

I’m leaving where I was, leaving because

Leaving is what leaving does

I’m leaving the lusts. The when and the where

And the what leaving loves.. I’m leaving drugs

Leaving the suds and the buzz dust

I’m leaving that like left pizza crusts

 

Okay now, I’ve got leaving news

I’m going on a leave cruise--a full boat

With two clubs and a trump suit

I’m like filled with leaving juice-not booze, am I being obtuse?

I’m so into leaving I bought leaving boots!

 

I plan to leave the past behind me

Lot of the sins and illegal things that bind me

I’ve got to leave quick

Go ahead you can time me

I’m keeping ahead of the grip

That once confined me

 

I’m leaving now like the nights leave each dawn

I picked this day to be leaving on

In my case I’m leaving the worst

I should have left the last crap first

But at least I leave the rest 

Of my life less cursed at best.

Course, someday we have to leave that too..
