The Skins on the corner
with their bubble postures
and the Muscles they walk with
swaying their hips
and the Muscles will flex
all their cologne and fists,
the college Punks,
the Emo’s and their skinny
jeans and cigarettes,
the one’s that fall through
the cracks in the dirt,
and the Alien’s,
watching the sun cross
behind the balet of the
clouds
twidling our thumbs.

this street is a painting
poetrybetween
6:25 and 6:48pm
this street is a
painting
as
sunlight falls
through leafy fingers
photons spilling
like grains of sand
into piles on the shadowy
sidewalk
i’m suddenly afraid
of where i step in case
the paint
should
smear.
thin chinster was not a man a-tall ya know?
poetrysharp faced,
butt chined,
tall, and thin –
a narrow man was he
turned side to the right
and to all’s delight
he done become 2-d
