The snake is blind

Which way to the beginning of the line?

I lost my way in the darkness.

Seems like this snake is growing all the time.

Am I nearer to the head or tail?

"Mister can you spare a dime?

Shed some skin let in some light.

Why can't the blind help the blind?

just drop it there inside my pail."

Dollar bills are shutting down my mind,

choking walls are closing in.

Step out of line I'll be fined,

shrinking me like warming hail

Found myself in a deathgrip bind,

a friend in need indeed!

When will my bail be signed?

Today freedom is on sale

To this fate I am resigned.

Imminent fangs of a toxic beast.

life is really not so kind

unless my cheque is still in the mail
