The Watchman
Here comes a feat of boots dressed in gold
Clad in a uniform just as bold
Keys wrapped in paper cloth
Hands wrapped in gauze
Bloodshot eyes tinker chilled
Yet he stays willed
Though no one comes to lay fright
He does not blink all through the night
Blind man says watch closer here
Deaf ears do not appear
Sharp as nails he rakes his hands
Through his hair, though he is blundering mad
Teeth grind in his head
His fame has bled
He cannot move his post
He can feel his host
A shaky hand throws his cigar
Leaves in an old car
An omen shines through the gate
Only now he realizes it is too late
