stumbling down the alley
bottle in my hand
stumbling down the alley
life is oh so grand

clink and scrape along the wall
uncertain footsteps down the hall
stagger into an unclaimed stall
spend my life in darkness thrall

tendrils creeping into my gaze
a leafy lovely chattering maze
mama's eyes glow pretty white
while inside i die, i die....

one long view later said
chip chop chopping block reason fled
i hear my father in the season's end
welcome me there old friend
