~Five Points~


~we were younger than men~
  ~never quite boyz~
  ~down there in Denver~
  ~they called these black streets~
  ~Five Points~
  ~because there was~
  ~a convergence~
  ~a star~
  ~the five points of them~
  ~a Jesus Saves neon light~
  ~night~

~soup kitchen & after-hours joints~
  ~“wha’ d’ya want”~
  ~“white boys, c’mere”~
  ~“lookin’ for some girls”~
  ~“little bit o’ action”~
  ~there were two hungry whores~
  ~an Indian & a black one~
  ~my brother ‘n I bought ‘em restaurant food~
  ~three meals each~
  ~& they sent us on home~
