Heading to a Gig

Heading to a Gig


He stands beneath a stop sign…
            …waiting for his ride.
He tugs his jacket tighter…
            …to leave the cold denied.
He left one gig behind him…
            …with one left on the side.

A six-string in his hand, now…
            …some music in his head.
Just waiting for a bus, now…
            …until he walks, instead.
And when the sun lies low, now…
            …he’ll know the day is dead.

Put one foot on the sidewalk…
            …and now it’s time to roam.
Playing blues inside a gin joint…
            …beneath a neon dome.
And when the clock strikes 3AM…
            …he’ll finally make it home.
