Small Man on the Skeleton Crew Down at Olympia Stadium

You looking at me?
What makes you think
I can’t pop
your eyes out your head,
squeeze your windpipe,
drive a nail
through your eardrum?

You know it,
I’m nothing for
anyone to scare at--
I’m a small man,
couldn’t do you
no harm, it’s true--

but I’m bigger than your children
and I know where they play
