Blame It On Boredom /A Couple Poems and a Few Song Lyrics

Written 2-24-13...I just noticed the ALL CAPS. It's easier for me to do that then hitting that damn shift button every time I want a capital letter. So please forgive me, I am not SHOUTING!!! O.K.!!!!! JEEEZE

- I WROTE THIS NEXT TO THE COW KEY BRIDGE IN KEY WEST SITTING UNDER A TREE, DRINKING MY BEER (VICE), LISTENING TO MUSIC AND WATCHING A GREAT BLUE HERON FISHING ALONG THE EDGE OF THE WATER AS I WAITED FOR THE HOMELESS SHELTER LINE TO GO DOWN AS THE HOMELESS PEOPLE (ZOMBIE SHEEP) MADE THEIR WAY WALKING PASS ME GOING TO K.O.T.S., WHEN OUT OF THE BLUE, I SAW A DORSAL FIN COME OUT OF THE WATER IN FRONT OF THE HERON. IT WAS A DOLPHIN, YOU KNOW LIKE FLIPPER, SWIMMING FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO UNDER THE BRIDGE TO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN SIDE. WHICH, I HAVE SEEN A DOLPHIN IN THE WILD BEFORE BUT I STILL THOUGHT IT WAS COOL AND WALKED ACROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC TO CATCH A CLOSER GLIMPSE OF THE MAMMAL BUT IT HAD ALREADY GONE PASSED. AND NO, I WASN'T THAT DRUNK AND I WASN'T SEEING THINGS, OR DO HALLUCINOGENIC DRUGS. IT WAS A COOL, BEAUTIFUL SIGHT THAT YOU DON'T SEE EVERYDAY. I TOLD THE HERON THAT, THAT FISH WAS TOO BIG FOR HIM TO CATCH, THE HERON LAUGHED, SHOOK HIS HEAD AND FLEW OFF, SQUAWKING..



WHO IS "THEY"? / A+ ASSHOLES AND OPINIONS


TEARS IN THE DARK

FALL BEFORE DAYLIGHT

COVER UP

MY VICE

IN MY UNDERCOVER CUP

WHAT I DON'T

WANT THEM TO SEE



THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE

WHAT I HAVE SEEN



I TRY TO EXPLAIN

EVEN I THINK

IT'S BEYOND BELIEF



HOW COULD I EXPECT

FOR THEM

TO THINK DIFFERENTLY



I'M JUST ANOTHER GUY

LIVING IN THE STREET



WALKING DOWN

A DIFFERENT ROAD

THEY NEVER EVEN

THOUGHT ABOUT



I LOST MY BOX

I TRY TO THINK

OUTSIDE OF ONE



DIFFERENT STORY

ON THE WRONG

SIDE OF THE STREET

I NEED TO WALK A CROSS



REPENT

FOR THE THINGS I'VE DONE WRONG

THAT I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO

ALL ALONG



BURNING BOTH CANDLES

AT THE END

TIME TO GO

REFLECT ON THE PAST



REMINISCE

LEFT TO RIGHT

WRITE DOWN

THE FIRST THING

THAT COMES TO MIND



DON'T MIND ME

I LIVE IN MY OWN WORLD

THAT'S SOON TO END



HOPE TO PRAY

BEFORE THAT DAY

COMES TRUE



MY THOUGHTS FASTER

THAN WHEN THE INK

RUNS THROUGH



TRY TO CATCH

EVERY WORD

I TRY TO FORGET

TO LET GO



LOOKS LIKE A CROSSWORD

WHAT I SCRIBBLE UP AND DOWN



I MEAN EVERY LETTER

I PUT TOGETHER



NO HARM

PEACE FOR THE WORLD

WHY CAN'T

WE ALL JUST GET ALONG



QUESTION THE HORNS

OFF A BULL

UNTIL I FIND

THE RIGHT

CORRECT ANSWER



SEEMS SO EASY TO ME

SO HARD FOR OTHERS

THAT HAVEN'T HEARD



WONDER WHY

EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY



SO SIMPLE FOR ME

SUCH A PROBLEM

FOR THEM

WHO EVER THEM ARE



HAVE I BEEN

GIVEN A GIFT

OR HANDED A CURSE



THEY TELL ME

WHO EVER THEY ARE

IGNORANCE IS BLISS

BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHAT THAT IS

WHO EVER THAT IS



I AM HAPPY

WITHOUT

A CARE IN THE WORLD

THERE'S ENOUGH BULLSHIT

GOING ON ALONE

WITHOUT ME

GETTING INVOLVED



STAND UP

AND SAY

WHAT YOU THINK YOU CAN CHANGE

SIT DOWN

IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO

OR SAY



DON'T BLAME ME

FOR YOUR FAULT

ALL YOU CAN DO

IS TRY



WAKE UP

ONE DAY

DEAD

SLEEPING FOREVER

UNDER THE COVER

OF WOOL OVER YOUR EYES

AS YOU COUNT THE SHEEP

THAT PASS YOU BY



PEACE IS YOUR SILENCE

NEVER TO BE HEARD AGAIN

YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE

BUT YOU NEVER SPOKE UP

NOW YOUR THRILL IS GONE

AS WELL AS YOUR SECOND WIND

TO YOUR LAST BREATH



I TRIED TO TELL YOU THE FIRST TIME

BUT YOUR EARS WERE CLOSED

DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN

YOU THOUGHT I WAS A FOOL

WHO DO YOU

THINK

IS A FOOL NOW

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL



TURN THE MIRROR AROUND

TO SEE WHO IS TO BLAME

THE FAULT

ALL YOUR OWN

KEEP YOUR POINTED FINGER

AWAY FROM ME

FLIP IT

UPON YOURSELF

THEN PUT IT UP

YOUR RECTUM HOLE

YOU SCAPE GOAT

WHO EVER YOU IS

EAT A TIN CAN

YOU NEED TO ENROLL

INTO A PLACE

THEY CALL SCHOOL

YOU'RE SUCH A A+ ASSHOLE

WRITTEN - JAN. 13th, 2013 @ the side of the Cow Key Bridge

NOBODY FAMOUS

STARE AT ME

LIKE I AM SOMEBODY

JUST ANOTHER NOBODY



DO NOT ASSUME THE BLESSING

JUST SEEMS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE



ACCEPT THE WAY

I LIVE MY LIFE

LOOK FROM THE OUTSIDE

YOU HAVE NO IDEA

AND NEVER WILL

WHAT I HAVE INSIDE



SO SORRY FOR YOU



DON'T DISTRACT

MY MISSION

GET A LIFE OF YOUR OWN

LEAVE MINE ALONE

YOUR LIES HAVE

ALREADY BEEN TOLD

YOUR MISERY

WILL NOT

GET MY COMPANY

PLEASE ACCEPT

MY APOLOGY



I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED

YET TO THE BLIND EYE NARROW MIND

IT MAY SEEM THAT I HAVE NOTHING

THERE'S MORE THAN YOU PERCEIVE



YOU DON'T HAVE THE MIND

I THINK



I BELIEVE



I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME

AS YOU KNOW

WHAT IT DOES TO YOU AND ME

BUT THEN AGAIN

MAYBE YOU DON'T



AN OLD CLICHE THAT NEVER STRAYS

I HATE TO GIVE MY POWERFUL SECRETS AWAY



MY MIND IS UNDER LOCK AND KEY

GIVING YOU CLUES

TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY

IT'S UP TO YOU

TO PLAY SHERLOCK HOLMES

DIG IN THE GARDEN

OF MY BRAND NEW HOME

LESS

EVIDENCE TO FIND

WHAT HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND

BARS

CAUGHT AT THE SCENE

OF THE CRIME



HAVE A DRINK ON ME

HAVE SOME DINNER TO EAT

AVOID THE PAPARAZZI AS I LEAVE

I AM NOT WHO THEY SAY I AM

I'M JUST A REGULAR GUY

TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET



SURE I PLAY THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

BUT NOT ON T.V.

I'M WORKIN' LIKE A HOOKER

ON THE CORNER OF

KENNEDY STREET

DRIVE BY

BUT DON'T SHOOT

AND I WILL GIVE YOU A TREAT

YOU CAN LAUGH AT THE MONKEY

DANCING IN THE SUIT OF ARMOR

DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YA



THEY SAY IT'S A SIGHT TO SEE

BUT I CAN'T SEE IT

I'M BEHIND THE TIMES AND SCENES

I JUST MOVE

TO WHAT THE MUSIC TELLS

ME TO DO

AUTOMATIC

NO BRAINS NEEDED

TO THINK ABOUT IT



JUST LISTEN

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

WHAT DID YOU SAY?



NO I DIDN'T

COULD YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION?

LIKE A BROKEN RECORD



I WAS GUIDED

BLINDED

BY THE SUNLIGHT

DRIVEN THROUGH

THE POWER OF THE MUSIC

PROVIDED

Written 2-26-2013



SUNSHINE LIGHT



HELP SOMEBODY ELSE

BEFORE MYSELF

LIFE IS SIMPLE

PEOPLE MAKE IT DIFFERENT

AND

DIFFICULT



SAME OLD THING

I SEE EVERYDAY

EXPECT ANOTHER RESULT

THEY WONDER WHY

THE RUT REMAINS



I SEE SO CLEAR

THEY

SURROUNDED BY THE DARK

CLOUDS PASS BY

DRY MY TEARS

BEFORE I GET HOME



YEAH TO THE ONE

I NEVER OWNED

THE WIFE

I NEVER MARRIED

THE KIDS

I NEVER HAD

IN LIFE



ALONE IN A LONELY WORLD



MY PARENTS LEFT ME

BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE

TO LOVE THEM



WOULDN'T RECOMMEND

THE ROAD

I HAVE BEEN DOWN

IT'S DARK AND COLD

WITHOUT SHELTER

TO KEEP YOU WARM

SUNSHINE

THE ONLY LIGHT

LAST THING I WANT TO SEE (FIRST THING IN THE MORNING)

YOU THINKS

YOUS A BEAUTY QUEEN

HAVE YOU LOOKED IN THE MIRROR LATELY?

I'M SURE YOU WERE

A CHEERLEADER

BACK IN THE DAY

PRESENTLY

YOU REMIND ME

OF A SEA HAG

FROM OUTER SPACE

LIVING IN

A HOMELESS PLACE

SORRY FOR MY OBSERVATION BUT

YOU ASKED FOR THIS TREATMENT

I TOLD YOU TO GET AWAY

BUT YOU JUST WANTED

AND THAT SHE

WAS GOING TO LEAVE ME

SHE COULDN'T PUT UP WITH

ANY MORE TOMFOOLERY



(CHORUS)



BUT I SAID

WAIT A MINUTE NOW

THESE WORDS THAT

I WRITE DOWN

WILL BUY US A HOUSE

AT THE END OF THE ROAD

THINK ABOUT THAT

BEFORE YOU LEAVE TOO SOON

OUR DREAMS

ARE ABOUT TO

COME TRUE

SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN

START A NEW BEGINNING

NINETEEN TWENTY

I NEED ANOTHER FORTY

TO FIND ME

A BRAND NEW SHORTY

WITH A POCKET FULL OF MONEY

SO I CAN SAY



(CHORUS)



(END OF SONG)



THE WORDS WRITTEN IN THIS SONG THAT I WROTE SOME TIME AGO ARE SOMEWHAT TRUE WITH A LOT OF MADE UP BULLSHIT THROWN IN TO CREATE A CONTINUITY TO A STORY LINE. THE PART OF THE SONG THAT HAS RELEVANCE TO THE TRUTH GAVE ME THE IDEA FOR THE SONG WHICH IS THE TELEPHONE POLE PART. I REALLY DID FALL ASLEEP ON A TELEPHONE POLE ONE NIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE OLD OVERSEAS LOUNGE IN MARATHON. I WAS DRINKING A BEER OUTBACK OF THE OVERSEAS LOUNGE SITTING ON A TELEPHONE POLE GETTING READY TO GO IN FOR THE WEEKLY SUNDAY NIGHT OPEN MIC JAM AND PLANNING ON PLAYING THE DRUMS. IN FACT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS EITHER A SHORTAGE OF DRUMMERS OR LACK OF TALENT, I WOULD USUALLY BE UP ON STAGE DAMN NEAR ALL NIGHT AND THEY EXPECTED ME TO BE THERE AND I WASN'T EVEN GETTING PAID ALTHOUGH WE DID GET FREE BEER AND IT WAS A FUN TIME. ANYWAY, I GUESS I WAS TIRED AND DECIDED TO LIE DOWN ON THE TELEPHONE POLE I WAS SITTING ON AND ENDED UP FALLING ASLEEP ON IT AND I MISSED THE WHOLE JAM NIGHT, WALKING IN ON THE LAST NUMBER OF THE NIGHT. I TOLD EVERYBODY I WAS SORRY FOR BEING LATE, I MEANT TO CALL BUT I FELL ASLEEP ON A TELEPHONE POLE..... THE HOME I USED TO CALL MY OWN IS IN REFERENCE TO BEING HOMELESS THEN AND NOW. AND THE SEA OF ALCOHOL IS IN REFERENCE TO WHEN I WENT OVER THE SEAWALL, TWICE, ALONG N. ROOSEVELT IN KEY WEST INTO THE WATER WITH MY BIKE BECAUSE I WAS FUCKED UP OFF OF VODKA. THE FIRST TIME THE AMBULANCE PICKED ME UP OUT OF THE WATER AND I WOKE UP IN THE CORNER OF THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND WAS TOLD BY SECURITY AS THE SUN WAS COMING UP THAT I HAD TO GO AND I WAS STILL SICKER THAN A DOG, PUKING MY GUTS UP. THE SECOND TIME, YEAH I KNOW I SHOULD OF LEARNED THE FIRST TIME, BUT THAT LIQUID COURAGE IS SOME POWERFUL SHIT, I WENT OVER THE SEAWALL WITH MY BIKE, BACKPACK, LAPTOP, iPOD, MY CLOTHES ALTHOUGH THEY WERE SOAKED EVERYTHING ELSE WAS RUINED OTHER THAN MY BIKE WHICH I NEVER DID GET BACK AFTER I WOKE UP AT A BUS STOP WITH NOTHING BUT THE WET CLOTHES ON MY BACK TO A KEY WEST POLICE OFFICER TELLING ME TO WAKE UP AND MOVE ON. SO THAT'S THE STORY BEHIND THIS SONG WHICH I HAVE SOMEBODY CURRENTLY IN THE STUDIO PUTTING MUSIC TO MY WORDS RIGHT NOW. IT'S GONNA COST 200 DOLLARS BUT I GET TO KEEP 100% OF ALL THE ROYALTIES. WE'LL SEE. IT'S GOING TO BE A COUNTRY SONG.I DEFINITELY WILL POST IT SOMEWHERE FOR SALE OF COURSE AND LET YOU KNOW THE MINUTE IT IS AVAILABLE. PEACE OUT...I'M THIRSTY!!!! ;O....zzzzzzzz... HEY BAR KEEP, GIVE ME ANOTHER DRINK!!!!
