I could handle being a side man
back then
loving the ladies then sending them home
but it’s a condition all side men eventually
suffer from
wanting to be the man centre stage
fronting the band leading the show
3 married blondes in a row
eventually killed the gig
felt very much like they
were passing this old boy around
no crises
long thoughts on the morality of it all
just a tiredness of juggling other people
their sad lives
providing comfort
backing
to other men’s wives
