... death cell blues...

… death cell blues…

…got… the death cell blues…

what do I do… what do I do…

waiting… wondering…

… I the smashed clock…

its dial I dare not watch…

waiting… listening…

each tiny sound… every footstep…

waiting… wondering…

how long now?

… waiting for the darkness

for my shortest day…

…my racing mind

… heightened imagination

waiting… wondering…

how long now?

any sudden trip…

but in that brief moment…

imagining that drop to obscurity
