Only Wednesday

But you’re not alone

Tip a hat to the morning
get that shit off your chest
with a snarl and a finger
curt snap of your phone
like dogshit on your shoe
it’s a fuckin disaster 
but too late now baby, it’s done


And it’s only Wednesday 
the world still turns as it burns to the ground
but you’re not alone


You flag down a cab
kerb slurry rinsed open toes
in rainbow oil slick hued blues
crash test dummy driver Joe
a crime scene with all the latest jive
and a psychopathic world view
has got you crazed and bemused


And it’s only Wednesday 
the world still turns as it burns to the ground
but you’re not alone


a flower guy comes calling
at the lights, cute buns, nice smile
but the rabid gear change 
soon puts him to rights
left a wretch and a sharp left
scrawls a clown crayon run
in your last pair of tights


And it’s only Wednesday 
the world still turns as it burns to the ground

We are not alone
