*... Welcome
solo dancing - drunk-
confetti people clutching
gaudy stranded beads
big city stares
thru greasy window smears
chewing coffee grounds
under
sun glaring
steel beams and concrete
...secrets
her hair -
fluorescent pink spikes
demure demur
sunrise reveals
sleeping whore's makeup
traces of wrinkles
velvet drapes
once heavy
now luster
homeboy
on the stoop
sweat soaked muscle tee and
shades
fanning baby
in the stadium
she performs with perfect grace...
twenty thousand cheers
in her dream, parallel bars...
clutching her walker, she bows
grinning at the wind
old woman sits in pee...
her own warm pool
hot morning blues
chicory in my coffee
then there's vodka
drunk alone
dancing with air
i answer
gutter
brawling bodies
sleep now
purple grackle
on a dimming street lamp
drops seeds
silence
as i trace the mosaic
of my self
