a man becomes

lit cigarrete high brows curls in his hairslimy nose sweaty face and a look forlorn

can't get up can't sit down, his ass hurts

not for reasons you think yay it's coz he fell from a tree

what was young jim doing on a tree

didn't every thrill kill a man before he was a man

and when does a man become a man

is it age or just sanctuary

is it wisdom or mere selfishness

a man becomes a man says jim

when he falls down from a tree and hurts his ass

a man becomes a man jim says

when his heart breaks no more

when he sits beside the woman on bed

and quietly puffs his marijuana cigarrette

a man becomes a man jim says

when his fingers move caressing ova

never too deep and never to dip

and his smile is as nonchalant as it comes

a man becomes a man jim says

when his days are outnumbered you see

when he is lost you see

down can't get up and can't sit down

a man becomes a man jim says

when he hurts his ass dumb you see
