YOU'VE GOT A RIGHT

I heard you were coming my way,

saying funny things to people and not explaining, going around a little deaf. You've got a

right. I figured we should meet.

We'll take your car. It's got brakes.

I know about the laundromat,

your climbing in, singing warm spin warm spin. You'd been mush.

And that goof dog Hairball, I hear you run with him at night.

You like the lake, the moon, the creamy ice, and riding garbage cans down the banks.

You need a girl. I know one who curls around her terrarium

fingering trails, really. She loves a carwash, the sprayers and those crazy rubber suckers.

You 11 be the one.

She reads too much

and who says you can't hold a job, come on back. She'll rush your cellar up your stairs.

Sears
