Tom Waits

There was a man sitting at a table in the distance at the shop
It turned out to be Tom Waits
I remember thinking about how he is the most creative character in the world
He has been a musician
He has played the devil
And he is such a great entertainer with the most unusual voice
He began to tell a story
And suddenly it was his silouhette or shadow against a blue background
Man, he was a shadowy lobster devil looking shadow
I could see him jabbing his lobster claws out and jutting his throat and grinding his man head teeth
And he began to tell the story like a sailor - rasping it out, spitting it out, growling it out
Half Popeye and half Tom Waits style
He talked about a man named Jim who came a blowin' in
Maybe he was going to explain how to make a singapore sling or something too
The story: Something about looking for something
Maybe a long lost love
And as he came to the swell of his story
Sad as it was and directionless
He barked out, "and that's why my name is January!"

And I remember thinking of him telling the story the same way my grandfather used to tell stories
I wanted to leave because I was getting tired of him
And he was boring me
And he was also kinda freaking me out
There were other people with me apparently
And we left
