(with apologies)
Now there’s two kinda people in the world
There’s two kinda people in the world
There’s two kinda people in the world
The young people and...
At the gas station
a man in wraparound shades
was talking too loud
about how the country had gone soft.
He needed help
working the pump.
I looked away.
Mercy takes...
By closing time
the pretty ones looked tired too.
That helped.
The bartender wiped down the counter
like he was erasing a crime.
A man I used to sleep...
The couple at the next table
arguing about politics.
The guy at the bar
telling a story like he’s Hemingway reborn.
The TV spitting out bad news
no one...
no I don’t wanna
go for a walk
you fuck
you want me to walk
around this park
and enjoy what?
these fucking trees?
and people picking up dogshit
and their screaming,...
it's 11 o'clock
at night &
i'm striking the bong
standing at my window, staring
at the lights,
pondering the universe
& the past
i can't explain much
about what has happened
or...
it’s 75 degrees
the first real nice day
since winter
I’m staring at a patch of grass
with a confused look on my face
like I should be
doing something...
