Parts Unknown

by Wayne Russell

Sleep deprivation can

cause you to have life

illusions, death rubbing

his boney fingers together,

causing friction, can cause

you to believe that life is a

short trip, the mad wolf is

howling in the moon-soaked

night, the hobo hops a train

into parts unknown, he says

this band is playing for the

sad man.
