Who is this Stranger?

 

Who is this stranger sitting beside me

On the road from one place to another

A nephew who in the long ago

Was my partner in Dark Tower and chess

 

He is a grown man now, balding a bit

Who wants to save my soul from damnation

A religion he invented last year

He’s got a website; I could look it up

 

As a boy he was so good at chess

As a man he can’t sort out all the pieces
