A man sinks his breath deep into a saxophone 
He fills a smoky room with its tenor tone
All the clichés are here 
From the femme fatale to the trodden tramp

SheGirl is tamping down her blanket, comfy cattitude.
Pat pat pat pat pat pat, I admire her stealthy attitude.

COMPARTMENTALIZATION 

Friends, absolutely believe why
not in the “Loony Bin?
Compartmentalized my stresses, 
so messes … not get in!

one illness at a time.
Must do cause, "nine" problems have, not
about to loose ... my mind!

Compartments,...

Perhaps seven or possibly eight hours

WROTE A BUJA...

it rubbed the who in power
the wrong way...
to the slammer bujas..
committed himself
self imposed insanity....

Called his government plunderers
stealing from the poor mans pockets

and our young...
