I got no strings
to keep me here
though born of earth
of mother brown and father white
bored I listen to music:
"you're so natural - you're so free" "I'm seeing red'
"thats when I reach for my revolver"
it happened in Southampton
("say you don't want it").
Later,
holed up in
brick and stucco prisons that last
a lifetime
there wasn't much to do
when there was time to do it
