there’s a man just sitting there on a bench alone in a park
puffing on an el minding his business meditating after dark
someone’s jogging by don’t like what he smells so fucking what
dirty look eye to eye don’t get me started keep jogging just shut up!
please go away
and just leave me alone
please go away
and just leave me alone
please go away
and just leave me alone
‘cus I’m stoned
so stoned
this same man coming home after work and the house is loud
the kids acting up and mom’s on the gay chat line coming out
too tired to argue been drinking at the job working on the corner
lock the room watched porno then raped his wife because of the boner!
please go away
and just leave me alone
please go away
and just leave me alone
please go away
and just leave me alone
‘cus I’m stoned
so stoned
this same man sitting on the steps of his house puffing on an el
staring up at the stars zoning on the concept of heaven and hell
suddenly from his backyard a skunk appears and farts and then jets
it’s bad enuff here with nosy neighbors around but what’s up wit this shit?!
please go away
and just leave me alone
please go away
and just leave me alone
please go away
and just leave me alone
‘cus I’m stoned
so stoned
