In the terminal some crazy man thinks he needs to flag down

The subway I said, “Listen buddy you better back away

From the yellow line no one jumps on my watch.”

 

So now it’s 10 AM on Sunday and I’m beneath

The Brooklyn Bridge, kids pass by dressed like

Bumblebees and they’re headed to the Purim

Carnival at the Mount Sinai Synagogue I swear I’ll

Guard this bridge like it’s Guantanamo Bay because

No one jumps on my watch.

 

Still I wonder about the things I’ve done for praise

I can’t hold onto.

 

But they’ve put me in front of a room full of

Girls half my age and I’m doling out hope like it’s

Free candy free condoms free hugs free cash or even

Freedom and it’s not my place to preach but as long as

You’re here you’re mine baby back away from the

Yellow line, nobody jumps on my watch.

OHOHOH!! i like this very much, it feels like im in a smokey weird club somewhere and this black man with a very raspy voice is reading this to some jazz in the background (perhaps the reason i got this impression is because im stoned right now plus listning to kermit ruffians - world is a ghetto right now)
anyway well done, please concider doing spokenword if you are not already doing that.
