I wanna live like a piece of chewing tobacco
Stuck at the bottom of the front of your mouth

I'd like to be the television program you barely watch
Before you fall asleep on your couch at night

Maybe I could be the orange peel you can't find a trash can for
So you stick it in your shirt front pocket instead and it stays there for weeks

It would be nice if---

                                                                               ---HEY HEY HEY what do you think you're doing?
I was writing a poem---

                                                                              ---Oh yeah? What kind of poem? Is it a love poem?

Sort of---
                                                            
                                                                              ----Well who is it too then? Huh?

It's kind of non specific---

                                                                             ----What a bunch of baloney! This guy? Can you believe        
                                                                              This guy? Thinks he can just write love poems to the
                                                                           ether this guy. And they ain't even real romantic like.
                                                                          Jeesh! I'll tell you why too! Because they ain't got no one
                                                                       serious in mind. You gotta get yourself a lady friend.

Well I'm working on it---

                                                               ---Well work a little harder huh? Instead of sitting in bed all
                                                                morning go to some farmer's markets or a library and talk to
                                                              some classy chicks. Christ go to a... a.. juicery... or somethin.
                                                           Whatever you fancy LA types do. Christ almighty I ain't got time
                                                         for this. I'm outta here.




I think maybe I'd just like to be a piece of gum at the bottom of your shoe
Now I'll just have to find a street corner to stick myself to
