Have you got enough
To do it?

How's your supply?
Will it see you through it?

And those who
Gather round
Are they here for you?
Or just gossip bound?

Ration now thy scant resources
Lest there be some
Harsh recourses.

I am at this moment
right where I am
just a tick away
from where I had been
the shortest of steps
that I'm soon to be
yet through all this
I'll still be me

just a breath away
from where it all ends
hard now to count
from the days I began
not sure which side
on the dial I lean
my best guess is
it's soon to be seen

what makes life exciting
is the mystery
what adventure is hiding
for the likes of me
to take me beyond
from where I now am
to deposit me
on the other side of that

The static is somewhat harsh today
Harmonised with the strip light abuzzing
Went to see a genius last night
The crowd
Silent and loving
One man
A Telecaster
And a hi hat
That was all it took
To hush a sold out drunken throng
New stuff
But hits not overlooked
Codeine and hash for my gimpy hip
***** for the way it feels
Still
***** Bill Callahan
Still brought me to my knees.
