people messing with my mind    
one or two many  
crowding me  
I got out of town  
went where the air cost too much to breathe    
high end shops  
hotsy totsy folk in scarves  
haughty stepping  
designer dogs  
music on the streets    
soothing savage breasts  
and oh
mine was savage  

damn fine cajun food at lucille’s  
fried green tomatoes in the middle of winter  
red pepper cream sauce        
robert johnson growlin’
    gonna shoot my pistol    
    gonna shoot my gatlin gun
law…  
that’s just the mood I was in too

one or two many  
crowding me  

on the porch
sweet cigar smoke  
cohiba
pushed you into my almost clear thoughts
turned slowly in the elegant air
man next to me
asked
do you mind?

gave him my high end smile

please
enjoy
that cigar smoker’s  
the only one I want
to mess
with my mind

sigh...

y'had to mention cajun food AND Robert Johnson in the same stanza? Now just who is messin' wif whose mind, eh, Lady?

I'm achin' for a Mississippi Delta trip too--juke joints, red clay road and who knows?

I wanna hit the crossroads and see if I can trade my soul in for RJ's.

Messin' with your mind?

Not I...mine is enough of a mess!

enjoyed, Lady!

where the air costs too much to breathe...I've been there myself...ends up killing a person after awhile I think
