Hello stranger

How’s that dangerous dog I used to know

Cigarette ashing out… the window
racing from class your dad’s corvette
tell me have you graduated yet

You used to hold

The baddest toy in town
She moved on with life, and you… hung around
Hunting for more virgin bones to fetch
have you found a finer one yet

hello stranger
loitering main street
cardboard sign begging at your feet
a memory crowded with regrets
tell me have you learned your lesson yet
tell me have you learned your lesson yet
