15,746. JELLY ROLL NOTHING

JELLY ROLL NOTHING
I think I need to talk. I cannot go
on distraught. Help me in my
weakness, I heard the drifter say.
(As they carried him from the
courthouse and were taking him
away). No one to talk with All 
by myself. No one to walk with.
But I'm happy on the shelf.
Ain't misbehavin'
Savin' my love for you
For you, for you, for you.
-
And, Jeez, everyone knows I
feel like an idiot in a sheep's
clothes. Powerless and emetic
both at the same time.
-
I wanted to build skyscrapers once:
luxury homes high in the sky for
the poor people of all the world.
Now? I'm lucky my tent hovel
keeps out the wind for
myself. Help (me in my
weakness...I heard the
drifter say).
