I see a sad lad dragging regret through downtown (not homeless, but houseless, aftermarket crashes) staggering through shadowy alleys; black cats laughing at him in his fashionable tattered jacket as a fat rat scampers from behind a trash can he peers into it dazzled to dig up anything that can help have his scattered thoughts gathered cigarette butts and ash, ragged magazines, a half eaten apple to share with his rat friend none of it matters, he feels like Aladdin, he treats his ****** street like a palace he'd rather be free than happy. is that madness?
