He couldnÕt feel the heat
From the strays of bullets
Coming from the back door
Right through his wool sweater.

The cold said hello;
His hair was black like his jacket
And he stood like a waiter
Standing tall as a homeless man would during the cold.

The guns flared beneath their voices,
Crying for the money, the hustle,
the chance to be someone.

Three men leaning over one another other,
With the cars lined up in the alleyway.
The money was hard,
The suitcase was gripped,
And a man without a cause,
Lying in a pool of blood
Next to it all.
