  2. Well that’s kind of a depressing title for a night of poetry.

  3. Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine
    meltin’ in a pot of thieves
    wild card up my sleeve
    thick heart of stone
    my sins my own
    they belong to me, me

    people say “beware!”
    but I don’t care
    the words are just
    rules and regulations to me, me

    I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud
    I’m movin’ in this here atmosphere, well, anything’s allowed
    and I go to this here party and I just get bored
    until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing
    humpin’ on the parking meter, leanin’ on the parking meter
    oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
    and I got this crazy feeling and then I’m gonna ah-ah make her mine
    ooh I’ll put my spell on her

    PATTI SMITH — “Gloria”
