Line 9
Old man
Looks like
Clint Eastwood
Only with a cane
And he’s French
And he’s a bum
And he’s no Clint Eastwood
Oh well
Good try
Here comes
George Clooney

Alive still
Line 9
Last train
To Bumfuck
Somewhere
It’s so sad
Everybody in the car
Is pretending
That life is ok
Even me
Pretending
That I’m alive
Havana club
Line 9
When you least
Expect it
Whiff of a woman
Havana club
I remember
In Cuba
They couldn’t wait
To love me
Got lucky
Still think of her
I know
She would have been
A good wife
Titanic
Line 9
She comes in
A blonde
With headphones on
I’m curious
“What are you
Listening to”
I ask
Thinking I’ll learn
Something
From the yougen
“Blow off” she says
I understand
So I do
Doesn’t matter really
She’s maybe listening
To Celine Dion
Beggars’ banquet
I take Line 9
Quite a lot
I know all kinds of beggars
On Line 9 I know them all
Some of them I saw
Their kids grow up
I’ve never seen
A Jew beggar
Neither a Chinese
Whatever that means
I’m now seeing Pakies
