MARLBORO MAN
MARLBORO MAN
He lived in this neighbourhood
where I have stopped for tea
He had steelblue eyes and was
from Calgary His command of
language was wanting but I
overlooked it ditto his lack of
moral fibre His father had kept him
under the trailer where he licked his
wounds at night And his brother who
was missing a middle finger baptized me
in the Bow River so I would know that I was alive
..You live your life in a plastic bag babe in a plastic bag..
