downtown ( fer jack)

[WIREMAN]

fresh start
the depart
ride cross
town, warm
january filled
with the holidays
the multi-faceted
confusion of these
are the good old
daze, what's that
you say bout purple
haze????? while
this life's set ablaze
just gonna relax on in
put on the cut-offs and
go for a swim...downtown
everything's waitin' for thee
downtown...downtown............................wired...ps...don't let's be kiddin' ourselves my friend...charm city ain't what it used to be and I gots the pics to prove it, what this old wireman does is wear blinders to ease the pain while him and the missus fight to survive in this littered hollins hood....sometimes positive fantasy is better than the reality of it all...so I'll wiredly keep my blinders on when I walk the dog....reality jack.....comprende?

Towards the soft fire,
A dying blaze;
Alone among withering daffodils,
The dullest maze-
How sad it is to have
Open eyes!
(But what harm may come
From persistent disguise)
