Train Terminal Blues

Not blues exactly

'gainst a hard-back bench

eye out for eyes

of Barry Bliss -

Laughing blue eyes tell me to follow

to the tight spot

'tween walls in the john-

to bend to

Barry Bliss.

His blue eyes

red cheeks laugh -

tell me I'm not such

a bad apple,

I really do it good, and he'd like me for

a true-blue friend.
