Thirteen Cents Short



No one said I was playing this song

here on the corner to make a living.


 I just needed an excuse to go

anywhere but home,. They sing

along to songs no one's ever heard

and your pocket change is all I need

for a new start.


I sell my soul for a penny a thread,

 a dime a note, a quarter a memory

and it's all I need to keep myself

from going back


to a homeless man's home.
