see that guy?

that guy down there

the landscaper

the one by the tree

yeah the one with the chainsaw

that guy’s a murderer

that’s what the judge told me,

 or he used to be a judge,

  but now he was a regular ole lawyer

we were by the window

in a big building

in a little town

and down there was a murderer

the judge prosecuted him once

back when he wasn’t a regular ole lawyer

 or a judge

  but a prosecutor

and that guy took a hammer

and bashed in some other guy’s skull

and then he dumped him down a well

and when they found the body in the well

he made up some bullshit about a fight and whatnot

self-defense and all

you know how it goes

 the well’s just where you put things when you kill ’em

  I mean where would you put him?

and the jury they bought it

and now he was down there

with everybody else

walking around

in that little town

with a chainsaw

just chopping the hell out of a tree

I live in the city now

but sometimes I think

about that murderer

 and that chainsaw

  and who else is walking around.
