Fool Along the Scenic Route

He was picking "Truly Julie's Blues",
a beggar in Doc Martens,
asking for applause in
his own "B" movie.

He lived the drifter's sunrise,
and knew it wasn't just the morning
but the lack of dew,
that caused him to linger
on roads unfulfilled.

A big Mister Nothing
looking for someone
to unlock the door
and cage the elusive
wanderer

so he has time enough
to learn all the chords.
