Station Information But Not About a Haitian

STATION INFORMATION BUT NOT ABOUT A HAITIAN For example, take that man over there Or this woman who’s standing right here You don’t know who and what they actually are Perhaps, as did I, they spent all day in a bar A tavern where the barkeep keeps secrets well And forgets what he heard at the final call bell that fourteen year old might have fourteen bags of meth on him? Alas, these imagined images undoubtedly are growing dim See that little old lady in a wheelchair, The one the well groomed gray and white hair? Well she may be forty with heroin up her ass But to cops looking like a little old lady gives her more class So instead of just waiting for a bus or a train Train your eyes on the prize, which is my brain Because street smarts were supposed to pay off BIG TIME And I’d ask that lady for some of what’s up her ass but I ain’t even got a dime © 2011.….Peppertree ~free cee!~
