Another unpromted poem - (Stay) Between the Lines
"Jimmy, stay between the lines," she told me
I'll always remember those crushing words
Edict from Hell, it hit me really hard
I was the one who wrote so large, freedom
Freedom like sleeping in the raw, naked
Naked this world I came, naked I'll sleep
Freedom restrained, of sudden, freedom lost
Teacher from Hell tethered me to those lines
That cruel biddy who tamed my wandering hand?
She found religion there, learnt compassion
Itinerant magician saved her soul
It's begun again, "Stay between the lines."
Driving still, "they" let me keep doing that
Admonishment I hear, from left and right
Though mostly right, "Don't park over the line"
Kind Lord, may the magician come again
And please save their souls, compassion they need
I'll drive till a hundred years I have seen
And may I keep some freedom with my lines
