Crank (Crank 1)

Life

was radical

right after I met

Later, life

became

harder,

complicated.

Ultimately,

a living

hell,

like swimming

against a riptide,

walking

the wrong

direction in the fast

lane of the freeway,

waking

from sweetest

dreams to find yourself

in the middle of a

nightmare.

You Know My Story

Don’t you? All about

drug some people call crank.

Crystal. Tina. Ice.
