Digression sums up like
street-light conduct.
A movement of the hands,
the film stops
and leaves you standing all alone.
Spilled milk mother
suffers guilt like sour candy.
Hey, show everyone that scar,
like the bigots used to know.
Jazz-man screams with purple acapella,
bourbon-colored skylines,
where your father used to go.
Tick-tock,
6 o'clock,
Jesus, not another shakedown...
Have you seen that record
that Danny used to play?
Beat-street shadows
dwelling deep within yourself.
I wonder if I'll ever
see that blonde-haired girl again....
