This for Mike and for Rob, two great soulmates in the poets' prison!
Who's that humming an old refrain?
The screws have moved my stars,
I'll never see Orion or Libra again;
But the guys to the north are balling,
And the gals to the south are calling,
So do I care about the loss
Of my little bit of cosmos,
Heck no, I'll just crane my neck
And look at any bright speck,
Shivering in the black velvet sky,
Before I'm led out to die, to die.

Folk blues 3
Who's that tapping on my bars?Who's that humming an old refrain?
The screws have moved my stars,
I'll never see Orion or Libra again;
But the guys to the north are balling,
And the gals to the south are calling,
So do I care about the loss
Of my little bit of cosmos,
Heck no, I'll just crane my neck
And look at any bright speck,
Shivering in the black velvet sky,
Before I'm led out to die, to die.
