        Birthplace Revisited (from Gasoline)
        
        
       
       
        I stand in the dark light in the dark street
         
        and look up at my window, I was born there.
         
        The lights are on; other people are moving about.
         
        I am with raincoat; cigarette in mouth,
         
        hat over eye, hand on gat.
         
        I cross the street and enter the building.
         
        The garbage cans haven't stopped smelling.
         
        I walk up the first flight; Dirty Ears
         
        aims a knife at me...
         
        I pump him full of lost watches.
