They call him Old Yeller.
He wanders the streets
Screaming God Damn Fuck, God Damn Fuck
For minutes and hours and days and weeks
And months and years and decades
And sometimes he stays too long near your house
So yu give in and call the police.
“We know him,” says the officer.
“Believed to be harmless.”
“Brain injury you know.”
“Treat with compassion.”
But what is compassion?
For a loner who wanders
And too often loiters
Screaming God Damn Fuck, God Damn Fuck!
