it's not going to be okay
and that is alright too but
just three weeks ago after
a soul partner's funeral I'm
taking another partner home
all wasted and the cop asks if
I've been drinking and I tell
him yes yes indeed so he lets
me go and follows me home
with a can of beer between
my legs just like the good old
days in Calif. when the CHP
were more like your older
brother as they ground your
reds into the pavement with a
bootheel asking if the sets were
glassy like I gave a fuck but
they were good-looking blonde
motherfuckers though not like
these mad-dog faces we got now
ready to shred your birthright
with their perfect canine teeth
and onboard computers like
I really give a fuck about that
either actually I am no better
than anyone else from what
I can remember
