Awol |
Stormy eyed on the edge of dawn |
Nose pressed against the triple glaze |
Floor to ceiling, wall to wall |
Silent traffic streams both ways |
Along the fussy freeway drivers |
Dream of Sunday barbecues |
Of a sudden, seems I can barely |
Face my self, no face to lose |
Call the bosses, call supervisors |
Won’t be in today to work for you |
E-mail that girl who’s working nights |
She can dress down for this wind and rain |
Leave her new Korean compact |
Let some cabbie take the strain |
Take a shower, take big espresso |
Take to the hills, and take a view |
Little black dress stretching over |
Hard crystal peaks soft valleys too |
Call the bosses, call for nurses |
Unfit today to work for you |
No wet excuses, absent without leave |
I’ll be her day shift driver, exotic engineer |
Stormy eyed on the edge of night |
December, eastern time late afternoon |
Atlantic city tight behind |
Trump casino calls pontoon |
Gristle burger, frazzled fries |
End this romantic interlude |
Tomorrow morning’s sweet awakening |
Could hardly prove to be as rude |
Make the journey, make amends |
Work some hasty overtime in lieu |
No wet excuses, absent without leave |
I was her day shift driver, exotic engineer |
