my lunch with mr. henry

insanity has lost its mind.
moronic as the world i find.
johanna runs in an undefined north direction.
no, this cannot be a sight of illusion.
her pale tight hands reached out for me.
so for her i left my family tree.
now it's her fake face that i only see.

the drifter man, he travels with no pass.
his thin pocket too has run out of gas.
so he comes up to me, wears a salty smile.
'hey, will ya pass me your smoke for a trial?'
'sorry man but my baby, she's got a big mouth.
says it's a pain hangin' with me about.
excuse me, i need myself to smoke her out.'

down the station the cars never stop.
streets empty but filled with cops.
history broken into patterns here.
two nomadic lovers and few cans of beer.
there's a new park for people to sit.
the number of sitters have increased a bit.
tried going there but i just don't seem to fit.

she loved her stupidity, hated her brilliance.
had a voice that could crack God' conscience.
always wears a coat but never a pair of gloves.
knew songs well and filled up my music box.
i lost my track, my life became a threat.
red seemed green and green seemed red.
then she came in and pulled me out of the dead.

we rolled the dices of our lives.
dreamt dreams and she was full of jive.
she would pick me up for a dance or little.
to songs of the rolling stones and the beatles.
just when i thought we were perfect,
on the fiftyfifth night, she bluntly left.
married a junkie named henry if i'm correct.

the smell of the holwling traffic stinks.
the blind girl around the corner does not blink.
you make up a dry smile but it doesn't sell.
you can't feel the wind so your sweat swells.
it's awful enough to feed only your fat belly.
how foolish of you to leave her in the alley.
how i wildly wish i was you mr. henry.


matrimonials fills up the day's paper.
a gloomy day about to weep sometime later.
the lift moves with a ironic sound
ladies in the hall swearing to each one around.
me here, i bump the bed with a headache.
just happened to have the worst lunch break.
as if my job wasn't hard enough to take.
