trips are for taking charcoal man stands on the street with a gone heart shoofly ways she pushes sweated hair from her forehead peers out the kitchen window loneliness too near the bone she grabs her old skillet cooks up a mess of he’ll be back leans from the door mouth to the air searching for calypso lip purple tip in a lapel sniffing craving patchouli cigar smoke and charcoal arms |

Aw That explains why I seen him on the corner...smokin' reefer, drinkin' Knotty-head gin and singin' back and forth 'tween "Nobodys Dirty Business" and "Keep My Skillet Good and Greasy". Loved it ! As always |
