a devastating fever
obsesses the mind
destroys the body
I boasted immunity
it pulses my veins
the deadly poison
gold fever
in a bar
a glass of beer at hand
staring holes into the air
the other chair could be empty
outdated hits
from the jukebox
a football event on the screen
old smoke
dusty men
tomboy women
and Indian girl
with long
hair
tingles sensuality
I've found my share of the gold
Carssing hands
don't think!
Smiling face
push back!
Words like raindrops
don't listen!
Warmth expanding
forget it!
keep step!
tomorrow
tomorrow
tomorrow, you can cry.
