That Woman

That Woman

Sth, I know that woman

I know I know that woman I’m sure

I do. I’ve seen her before

– A while ago –

Sth, I know that woman

I’ve seen her before.

Sth, I know that woman

My cherry blossoms are wilting

And colours fading

I was walking down the street

As I always do to deliver

The paper and this kid walks

Up to me and asks me for

Change and I tell him I

Have no change he says

I do, I did have change

But Sth, I know that

Woman

I’ve seen her before

Raining from clouds silhouetted

By the weekday sun the kid

Wears an army helmet and

A Springbok jersey I keep on

Walking

My Toughees click and clack

On the pavement the kid is wearing

These Jerusalem Cruiser vibe

Sandals that flick and flack

Flick and flack while he

Stumbles after me the kid

Mumbles – some crazy shit –

I pick up the pace

‘Cause I don’t have any change

And he’s quite fast I swear

It he could have been a pro

Power walker, look at him

Go! My god he’s amazing, and

Mumbles his jumbles as he

Goes

He catches up and I regret

Thinking he’s amazing when

He’s up in my face telling me

That I got change when

I have none, but I had some

And Sth, I knew that woman

I know that woman I’m

Sure I do I’ve seen her

Before – A while ago –

And Sth,

When I turned around and

Pushed the kid to the ground

I knew that woman

And Sth,

When I spat at his face and

Said “Fuck off rockspider”

I knew that woman

I knew what she meant

I know what that woman does

I’ve seen her before.
