Takin' Care Of Business

Self employed in the compelling glare

of the republic...aftertaste of birthplace

still haunts me in exile Mexico...slap-

stick-in-the-face; "Democracy!" laughing 

his ass off while lining his pockets..."No 

place like home!" underground bunkers 

stocked for years...

No insurance payout on Armageddon...no

retirement home in nuke zone. All you get

is Ponzi security...is chaos any wonder?

I just get up...write down ideas because I

like the sound of my own voice, I guess. 

Lew Welch coined: "kills bugs dead" 

for Raid ...made some money. 

Dickens got paid by the word.
