Woke up this morning
 on the wrong side of the tracks.
Left out leaving for all the right reasons
 and all the wrong facts.

Do We Choose Whom We Love and Ignore Those We Don'T

coming from the wrong side of the tracks

Rather living somewhere inside the divide
for no physical locality do we reside

If you could cup my passionate spirit inside your hand
Perhaps my ambitious...

A Petrified Conjunction
A petrified conjunction(?)

what a strange day...
for a martyr of missing time
born in the urn grove
among the burning embers
born on the wrong side of the tracks

The wrong side of the tracks 
In this hard hearted world 
But when she grew older 
The men gave her the stare 
A very curvy...

Memory Lane
I walk down memory lane.
 It was just as I had left it.
 Garbage here and there.
 The smell of alchol,

and small schemes for mail
we touch and go in the 'hood

We're poor to say the least
Cannot afford to eat
Second hand clothes to wear
Full of holes and threadbare 

Imaginations a power for me
Where everything is free
