 TIME TRAVELER

  BLUE MOON MOTEL

 Many people have spent time here,all kinds.
The neon lights flash through the blinds.          
A lipstick stained cigarette burns in the ashtray
of a dark room.The smell of cheap perfume,
as a lady of the night takes a bird bath.
Long time on the road,it felt good to get laid.
     She was good at her chosen trade.
                            *
 I sat on the edge o f the bed drinking a glass of
old crow,as Billie Holiday sang Lover Man on the
radio.I picked up a pack from the night stand
and lit a lucky strike. The floozy needs to take
a hike.I’m a Torpedo for the Mob,In town to bump
off a fat slob.I don’t ask why.I just know he has to die.
When the dough is right I do the job day or night.
  
 Twenty minutes go by.I open the bathroom door. 
To my surprise ,a dead naked floozy sits on the toilet.
A heroin needle sticking out of her arm.Damn it !
Life for her is no more. I don’t wanna believe my own eyes.
 I got her dressed and dumped her in an alley 2
blocks away.I had to get out of town before the
                             light of day.

  I then drove across town,knocked on the door,
and used my 38 to shoot the fat slob in the face.
Getting out of town was now a race.

 I am not to be found,
For highway 666 I was bound.
Yeah,I shot the man,damn right !
  I’ve got to get out of  town, to night.
From the Bulls I  gotta stay out of sight.  
You take the job you can’t back out from
                   the Mob.
When the crap hits the fan I don't stick around.
 I’m gonna take it on the lam and lay some 
                  miles down !
