Excuse Me? Are you talking to me?




Excuse me?

Or, Are you talking to me?


sidewalk crouches at my feet

like a dog that’s watched too much TV

he knows the secret of what’s best to eat

he’s begging me for something sweet


is there anything that i can do

to help him understand the truth

would he want to know it f he knew

or is mine just another ruse


another form the same demand

me feckless just because i can

just using what there is to hand

same product, just a different brand


nothing equal or the same unless it to itself compared

if there’s a winner in this game i’ll bet it’s not someone who’s scared
