The mad kid walked left-side south-side towards me
|
He was about seven
|
His mother was a cleaning lady
|
She had a large black dog
|
And the mad kid said
|
"Gimme the lead
|
Gimme the lead
|
Gimme the lead"
|
I'd just walked past the alcoholics' dry-out house
|
The lawn was littered with cans of Barbican
|
There was a feminist's Austin Maxi parked outside
|
With anti-nicotine anti-nuclear stickers on the side
|
On the inside and they didn't even smoke
|
Anyway two weeks before the mad kid had said to me
|
"I'll take both of you on,
|
I'll take both of you on"
|
And then he seemed the young one
|
He had a parka on and a black cardboard Archbishop's hat
|
With a green-fuzz skull and crossbones
|
He'd just got back from the backward kids' party
|
Anyway then he seemed the young one
|
But now he looked like the victim of a pogrom
