Approached in the parking lot by a man, Assault in his eyes. "Here's $25 "Ought to get you high. " Punched me straight on. "I'm not a drug addict - I'm a hungry man, My brain's been scrambled since I was 10, Society's rules are too complex for me to bend, I don't know what I'm supposed to do, I'm running I'm stopping I keep trying to jump through all these hoops I keep finding myself out of the loop, No one's told me the secret yet. I've been lied to many times. "I'm going to take your money tonight, But I will leave you with the rest, My hunger is an insatiable spot, Desperation rots, Get back in your car drive away, Don't tell a soul what you saw here today.

Parking Lot Enlightenment
