For Robert

Yesterday evening, I drove all night

Made it home by first daylight

I'm on top of it all but I'm not done

In the morning, hot water then beans

Manic portal through my computer screen

I'm on top of it all

I'm watching a life cut short

Breathing out of my forehead then I fell to the floor

That's for Robert on the train

Called me up and helped me to arrange

I had been watching too much garbage TV

It was no good for me

Yesterday evening I drove all night

Half way there and my wheel slipped right

Veered into the fold

I'm amazed I made it home

Breathing out of my forehead then I fell to the floor

That's for Robert on the road

Called me up and helped me to unload

I was so lost and down at 23

I didn't know what was good for me

I was no good for me

She was no good for me

Good for me
