When she said, Don't waste your words, they are
just
lies
I cried she was deaf
And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes
Then said, What
else
you
got
left?
It was then that I got up to leave
But she said, Dont forget
Everybody must give something back
For something they get"
I stood there and hummed, I tapped on her drum
And asked her how come
And she buttoned her boot, and straightened her suit
Then she said, "Dont
get
cute
So I forced my hands in my pockets
And felt with my thumbs
And gallantly handed her
My very last piece of gum
She threw me outside, I stood in the dirt
Where everyone walked.
And after finding I'd forgotten my shirt
I went back and knocked
I waited in the hallway, she went to get it
And I tried to make sense
Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair
That leaned up against
Her Jamaican rum, and when she did come
I asked her for some.
She said, No,
dear, I said, Your
words
arent clear
Youd
better
spit
out
your
gum
She screamed till her face got so red
Then she fell on the floor
And I covered her up and then
Thought I'd go look through her drawer
And, when I was through, I filled up my shoe
And brought it to you
And you, you took me in, you loved me then
You never wasted time
And I, I never took much, I never asked for your crutch
Now don't ask for mine
