7-eleven - black midi

I met a blind man the other day

As I crossed the street in my hometown

He came up to me

His eyes all glazed over

His hair slicked back behind his ears

And he said to me

«Son,»

«Son, it’s a dangerous world out there»

And «Don't worry, but if you’re not careful you’ll hurt yourself»

I said, «Alright sir, I’ll do my best, thank you very much.»

And I carried on crossing

And when I finally reached the other side I went into 7-Eleven

I got today’s New York Times and a single cigarette

I also asked them to do me an omelette

But they ran out of eggs

So I bought my things and left the store

With my paper

Lit a cigarette

Flipped to the back pages of the paper to read the sports news

Not much to read

So I got to the curb and got out my keys

The RV was just on the other side

I began to cross

I pushed the button to unlock it

And as I reached for the door

A great big fuckoff truck went straight through me
