Life Outside Windows

Moves at the Speed of Speakeasy

Greasy Tabletops

Stained By the Prints of Condensation

Left Behind from What was Once Solid Inside

I Reside in a Community of Corners

Pitching Quaters in a Jukebox

Playing the Soundtrack to Our Lives

Mama and Papa's "California Dreaming"

Finds Us Lingering

Between the Bar and the Bathroom

The Juxtaposition of a Players Jive

We Thrive Beside the Lies of Their Leisure

The Meager Receivers Behind

My Blood Shot Eyes

I's Won't Fuss Like this with Nobody But You

Tell Me, What Must I Do

To Leave here Yours

Sudden Illumination Singing the

Chorus of Alcohols Last Call

Resembling Flashlights of the

Gestapo's Gall

They Will Only Offer Us Bullets for Curfews

Hey Bartender!

Don't You Think it's About Time for

One on the House

Slowly Slipping Our Shoes Over

Stocking Feet

Stopping to Greet

My Man Slim,

Just as We are Walking Out

"My N---a!"

He Shouts

"Back at Ya Man!"

Here is Where We Abandon

All Doubts

Self Destruction

Lightening Judgment Among Heads

Making Our Way Behind Doors

To Shed these Eager Pristine Threads

My Truest Religion Bottom

Your Christian Dior Blouse

We are Aroused

The Shroud of Sanctity that Usually

Drapes Over Your Chastity

Caught the Last Bus Running to

The Other Side of Town

That was Just Before We Traded

Sense for Sounds

Moments Muffled Below Moans

Liturgical Lamemt Now Lying Down

Walls in this Room Do Not Match the

Walls of Faith

This Bed is Not a Cooling Board

Nor These Sheets Be Our Wine

Nevermind that Tomorrow's Frown

Is the Yes of Right Now

How Seeds are Planted

Before We Vanish

Later Trying to Manage

The Growth of Mannish

You are there Starting it Alone

While Your Ears are Dimming the Song

All the Leaves are Brown

The Sky is Grey...

Stopped in a Church that I Passed Along the Way

I Prayed

Wondering What Would've Happened if I Stayed

Outside the Window of that

Speakeasy

In that Community of Corners

Where Now a Bodega Resides at the

End of the Block

Our Children Grew Up

No Thanks to Me

Thankfully They were Smart Enough

To Unplug that Jukebox

Wow... life is strange... we live and learn, sometimes by wondering...what's happening.... as the bus continues to the next stop. more often than not ...stick and move, happens before we know it...
