the guitar player is afraid of the astronomer
who used to bang his wife back
when the Dead were still around
the astronomer is afraid of the computer scientist
who remembers everyone's last names
the wife is afraid of the neighbor's maid
who eats Kraft's mac & cheese for breakfast
the guitar player has a gun which
he keeps in a drawer, wrapped in
ugly Wal-Mart plastic bag
the astronomer buys his shampoo shampoo at kmart
and dislikes Cowboy Junkies
amid all this differences they all
get together once a week
because that's who they are
and they have no hope for
the future, and the future
has no hope in them
