Lost members of a forgotten tribe
Backstreet Battle Kids live on round edges
Avoid lions at feeding time
Soul sisters who dance for dollars and Delta Blues
splash in stale beer on fringe midnight madness
Rancorous song sang loose and loud
homeless heretics pose as sacred saints
Quarters dropped into stone Wurlitzers
rogue relics and fairy tale yarns
Wait for Magi fear almighty Ra
unholy tales from unholy scribes
Scatter and dodge uncovered mirrors
Backstreet Battle Kids circumvent the sun
Avoid lions at feeding time
