There's a man who lives down the street from me, and

           he wears all sorts of clothes, and

           lives in a house painted all sorts of colors. 

Some days,

he'll come down the road 

           in nothing but his starks, and 

           others he's draped in riches.

On Monday his house

is blue, and by Friday

it'll be yellow.

People ask him why all the

inconsistan-cy:

he smiles and says,

"it defines 

   me."

People say he's crazy, but

how can you define crazy by

          jewels on fingers, or

          a lack of cloth to chest?

Or by the color purple?

It makes me think it ought to be

the opposite.
