The "Priest" They Called Him

Experimental Electronic

Industrial

It was getting late and no money to score

Cab stopped just ahead, under a street light

Familiar face, the priest told himself, watching from the doorway

The boy there with his overcoat unbuttoned

Reaching into his pants pocket for the cab fare

Hm, yes, maybe, the suitcase was there in the doorway

He picked up the suitcase and started for the corner

Didn't look like the case the boy had or any boy would have

The priest couldn't put his finger on what was so old about the case

Old and dirty, poor quality leather and heavy

Two severed human legs that belonged to a young man with dark skin

Shiny black leg hairs glittered in the dim streetlight

And he had to use his knee on the back of the case to shove them out

Legs yet, he said, and walked quickly away with the case

The buyer looked at the case with cold disfavor

"Not even right sure he killed it, whatever it is

But since this is christmas and you're the priest"

He slipped three notes under the table into the priest's dirty hand

The priest faded into the street shadow, seedy and furtive

Three cents didn't buy a bag, nothing less than a nickel

"Say, remember that old anti-croaker told me not to come back

Unless I paid him the three cents I owe him

Isn't that a fruit for you to blow your stack

The doctor put the money in his pocket and started to scream

"I've had trouble, people have been around, I may lose my license"

The priest just sat there, eyes old and heavy with years of junk

The doctor jerked open a drawer and slid an ampule across the table

"Take it and get out!" he screamed, hysterical

And I shouldn't be bothered by people like you"

"Is that all you have for me, one lousy quarter g?"

"Get out, get out, I'll call the police I tell you"

Rooming house, a shabby street, room on the top floor

These stairs, the priest there pulling himself up along the bannister

He got his works from under the washbasinWrapped in brown paper

Because he didn't want any juvenile connections

And the priest had had enough bad news in his life

No mistaking that groan and what it meant

Any case I can't enjoy my priestly medications

Could hear someone hobbling across the floor

The boy stood there in his underwear shorts

Like knots of wood there on the young lean legs

A few years ago I damaged myself in a bicycle race

The old priest stood there feeling the boy groan

The boy was sleeping when the priest left room 18

He went back to his room and sat down on the bed

He sat there and received the immaculate fix
