Hot Dogs With No Buns

I should have tattoos
I should have a woman
instead I carry a purse full of empty.

Thats right-return me back to the womb
away from Bad tv
                  Bad people
                 cheap food
                 cheap women
                 cheap love

I should blame this on bad liquor
but I don't drink 

I should blame this on drugs but
I don't take'm.

angels pay a price for there halo,
there peaceful garden.
maybe I'm better off pondering Picasso
or figuring out Beowulf instead of sucking
the blood off of my cracked lips.
