Starch a shirt, a menial task.
Wash a pair of pants,
Drink from a flask.
Beware of infinite losses,
Clinging to your arm
In the middle of the night.
Don’t pick a fight.
You might, I know.
Catch the flow
Of air conditioning
On my skinny toes.
Feel the ringing in your ear.
Try to steer your car
Away from trouble now.
Cling and bow.
Cling and bow.
