Ain’t getting wiser
just more weary
wary of price on appeal
Don’t do small talk
not even tall talk very well
on my way to chalk
No crowd appeal
but in word and life image deed
I be real deal
And that my friend
with a buck-seventy-five
will get me a cuppa joe
Plus a wife and cat
and a place to hang our hat
while we glimpse the glow
