Sugar daddy asphalt sweats
thunderbird saxophone grunts and rust.
Rumble jukes hustle up steam ghosts
from rituals of the night.
never forgetting,
keeping score,
in street lights, dirty fingernails, cigarette ash
65 south is bleeding Chicago
all over Birmingham.

This has grit, power, urgency -- it's raw and honest, street and sweaty...
"Rumble jukes hustle up steam ghosts from rituals of the night"
"65 south is bleeding Chicago

Very Tom-Waits-like...
...and I love Waits...
...damned cool!
