beyond doubt

I acquired a wired piece of wood
the grandfather in the neighbourhood
told me that's why i could
release me and the family
away from this poor blood
would teach me gutter gathering gung ho
take me fairy tale above the below
don't matter if I'm black or I'm white
strum beyond the after thought of the night
the moon don't command me anymore
the cigarillos don't conduct the smoke
the floods didn't conduct me
New Orleans
on high over protection frequency
better than the soul less of new york
I drown in your Blondie
delved beyond the obvious
the second street of cause and caustic embrace
laced with silk i crave
you will never get away from the new Orleans grave
Me and Kathryn tripping on the Mississippi steamer
me with draws pulled tight
her with an after glow all through the night
we were winning, y'all may lose
yet we conducted ourselves with decor
the pistol barrel chested lawyer blow
his voice announcement did not phase
the two of us
for me and the K have done more than this
between us.
Call me a cheat?
you god damn shit
that's when she reproduced the pistol within
the abyss of my pocket
spun me around
that accuser fucker hit the ground
with a bullet in the chest
and she smiled at me
and we both
took a dive
into the Mississippi
and washed up on the shore bank
having taken the particular bank out
we will now run for our lives
no matter how many times we are cursed
and dispersed
little J will be educated
and our myth will shout!
it takes a real couple
to survive
beyond all
beyond width
beyond height
beyond doubt.
