Sam with the showing scalp flat top,
particular about the point it made.
Why, when I was knee- high
to a grasshopper,
this black juice came out on
a hard shelled chin.
And that called that 'tobacco
juice'.
I used to fiddle with my back feet
C

G 
My entire room absorbed
every echo..

The music was.. thud like.
G 
The music was.. thud like.
I usually played such things as rough-
neck and thug.
Opaque melodies that would bug
most people.
Music from the other side of the fence.
A black swan figurine lay on
all color lily pads.
On a little conglomeration table
of pressed black felt.
With same color shadows,
and seamed(?) knobbed knees, and what- nots.
The long hallway rolled out into
A 
G

Beside the fly- pecked black doorway,

Up a wrought iron fire escape.
Rolled out a tiny wooden platform with
