Guilt: The Song

I was drifting

into dreaming

and I saw something

I hadn't seen before

Two young ladies

I hadn't seen since high school

holding a piece of me

inside a plastic jar

And there was a hook attached to it

and they were attached at the hip

I was driving

on vacation

And I saw something

I hadn't seen in years

A man was seizing

on the pavement flailing

and I did nothing

a white dressed woman carried him off

I didn't lift a finger

I didn't stop my car

I just kept on driving

I didn't help that man at all

And I hope he forgives me
