ARTHUR AWARE

ARTHUR AWARE OF HIS HEAVY HAND
SWUNG TOWARDS HIS SUITCASE
MELLOW WHILE HE TOOK A SEAT
AND SAT NEXT TO HIS DONNA
I HAVE SEEN MANY OF SONS
STEP THROUGH PLATE GLASS WINDOWS
THEN LAUGH IT OFF
WHILE THEY TOOK A DRINK
OF SOMEONE ELSE'S FORTUNE
HEY THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT A MAN
SEEMS SO OBSCENE
AND BY ALL ACCOUNTS INTRUSIVE
MR. WILL TOLD MISS DONNA
YOU CAN SPEND ALL THE TIME
YOU NEED HERE
I KEEP ALL OF MY PRIZED REFLECTIONS
IN GLASS JARS FROM THE CORONER
AND WHEN I GET BORED OF LOOKING AT MYSELF
I TRADE THE GRAY FOR THE SHADE OF
SOMEONE ELSE
