BENT METAL




Bent metal rusted scraped the blacktop with a fist

Busking for the coins I dropped inside the well

Did I blow my fortune just to trade it for a kiss?

Only time knows and only time will tell.

The rats in the alley are smashed under wheels of trucks

Their bones completely flat they end up like

bear skin rugs underneath my shoes

Am I roadkill on your alley boots?
