A Baltimore night

just enjoying my beer
and then I hear
gun claps
in the air.
then I say,
"ouch"
to myself
then the sirens come
and they hurt my ears.
Then the choppers come
and they hurt my ears.
let's have another beer.
Is this town the
reason why I drink so hard?
Baltimore.
Lady day doesnt
sing sing
a violence song
in short gunshot
rythym bursts
all day
and all night
long.
