Nothing he ever did brought any kind of joy
he was that kid from Peanuts---
Pigpen, yes Pigpen---
with a perpetual dark cloud following him around
He never had anything nice to say to anybody
but he had been taught the Golden Rule---
just like the rest of us---
and he turned a blind eye
Maybe he was in fact, blind---
it was always possible, I suppose
I just know that when he was on the move,
everyone and everything would hold their breath
He was some kind of contagion---
some kind of downtrodden, downbeaten thing---
a deadbeat even
but at least there was a beat of sorts, I suppose
He was silent most of the time---
some kind of hovering augury
in possession of some kind of ego
with storied eyes,
without anyone to ask him what condition his condition was in
Sounds like a walk on the Dark Side!!!!!!
