Analysis of Shocker Wakening



Another shocker huh?

Right near dawning

The head does another number.

No cash or map.

Questions to strangers.

Every one disinterested

Somewhere in old town Cambridge.

Rustic stone buildings.

Several boarded up

Waiting for the wrecker.

And all of these dream

Sequences are wrecks.

Probably some scary

Program or novel

Before hitting the sack.

Ever going to learn Doug?
