You pick up this working girl,
who's hooked on smack,
who hustles and scores.
"That's all I do," she says.

She says, "ten bucks for head, fifteen for half and half."
She says, "three hits a day at thirty-five per."
You say, "that's seven tricks a day at least."
"But," she says, "sometimes I get lucky."
"Once this guy gives me a bill and a half just to eat me.
Only time I ever came."

You figure you can save her.

You sell your color TV.
That keeps her off the streets a whole day.
You hock your typewriter for one jolt.
Then your shotgun, your watch.

A week later, you say, "listen, I'm a little short."
But she says, "no scratch, no snatch."
You say, "look, it is better to give."
"But," she says, "beat off, creep."

One night they spot you on the street in your skivvies,
trying to sell your shoes.
You tell them who you are,
but they nail you.

Then she happens by,
and she says, "Christ, you look fucked."
She says, "hang tough."

But you don't say anything.
You just think, what a bum rap for a nice, sensitive guy like me.

The voice on this recording is my father, LA poet, John Harris. He died yesterday, 90 years young. I never knew of this recording, just discovered it. The name of the poem he is reading is called "The Gospel According to John". Namaste.

Chris Harris-Smith Sorry for your loss i know how you feel believe me. I have to say this track is an absolute classic of the progressive house genre, featured in the sweet spot of arguably the best dj set of the genre James Holden Balance 005 cd1 a real masterpiece. In short your father's poetry (this poem anyway) is loved by countless music lovers. Peace, love, unity, respect!

@lenosmilitzis2799

@RDAMASIO

@upstatecb

@Bai Jiansi hey, i know it's an old comment, but i'll try my luck. I really love balance 005, and this song along with petter - these days is permanently implanted in my head since i first heard them. What other dj sets do you consider to be legendary, trying to discover more music like this.

cheers!

John harris (poet, RIP) and Manny Napuri (producer, RIP) both immortalized forever in this sublime remix by Luke Chable.

Incredible track. Timeless. I travel for my job and this song is always played on every landing...looking out the window of the plane, this song reverberating around my head.
Spinetingling stuff.
