proposition 13

Proposition 13 here
get your proposition 13 here
do we each get one vote
so choose it wisely

beer or Shakespeare
i'm dead if you choose beer
no one knows Shakespeare anymore
i need a drink

so i ask for a glass of water and the man in the back said hush
we'll get you a proper drink
i look at my watch and it's half past 3 in some ancient language
everything is spinning

then i hit the floor
hard
it hurt and i was awake
i jumped up and down as my jaw hung from my molars

then i walked to the bank across the road
all i saw was vomit and Burroughs
he asked me for a light 
i shuffled in my pockets and i got him one

he lit a spoon on fire and went back to his ditch
never gave me back my lighter
so i walk in the bank
lay down my wallet on the floor between my feet

and i just lay on the ground until security comes round
nice to meet you i say and they jump up and down
nice to meet you too they replied
then i took their badges and ran
they weren't really fast
so i walked past browsing the stores

everything is so beautiful on James street N at night
mom told me to bring a sweater
i lied and said i did
she drove away

and i fell in love with a barista
