When I think of you, I hear a marimba in my head. I'm lost like a stray cat. Baby, I swear I'll hop a train and head west, to roll away from the memory of you. This mad hatter moon lights my way, and I'm done holding on. I'm getting a bottle of whiskey, and drinking it until you become a blurry memory. Then I'm jumping that train.

Jumping That Train
When I think of you, I hear a marimba in my head. I'm lost like a stray cat. Baby, I swear I'll hop a train and head west, to roll away from the memory of you. This mad hatter moon lights my way, and I'm done holding on. I'm getting a bottle of whiskey, and drinking it until you become a blurry memory. Then I'm jumping that train.
This is another poem I wrote off the cuff for the Tom Waits Challenge
