Walking Backwards Poem by Nat Z. Punx

walking east at sunset
turnin' my back on the light
turnin off my soul
for just another night
i'll follow you anywhere
but take me up the bluff
katie's workin hard
she needs her tips
and i want my stuff
gimmie two shots katie
no need sittin' down
set me up with two more
then bring another round

broken glass
on the sidewalk
brown diamond stars
sparklin' in the headlights
of bass thumpin cars
no pressure of a future
no shadow of a past
no love forever
no one night stand
you're dealt your cards quite quickly
and then you play your hand
i'm holdin a full house
that i can't understand
but i feel these constellations
poppin' 'neath my feet
walkin high in heaven
down this dirty street
