How to Pass Time with a Worn Out Spirit.

Strike the cue ball one last time and walk out of the bar,
but whatever you do, do not forget to put out the last of your fifth cigarette.

Hitch a ride into town and walk past faceless strangers, 
but whatever you do, do not look back for a second.

Walk into the building hosting open mic night midweek and pour your heart out, 
but whatever you do, do not say more than is needed.

Remember to always snap your fingers for every performance and while you're at it snap for yourself too, for you've done it again, passed time.
