The Deal

A deal with a stranger, no good in mind
A contract unread, a contract is signed.
A raw deal, a copped feel, a bargain SO one of a kind
Time wasted and bitter tears tasted
all fast forward
no rewind
A penny and a mothball for quarters, nuts and dimes
Pay no attention as you step over the line.
A contract not of paper, made of walls (my home) it binds
The one you’ve always known is not the one who sleeps behind the blinds.
