headphones and busses to places
i fear will tower over me due to
buildings so tall i nearly fall over
looking up at the sky seeing ferris wheels
from wooden benches in parks bearing
elderly women practicing kungfu while
clapping together spoons of wood with ever
step taken in the direction of the man
made wet lands of frog leaping lilly pad
mosquito breeding grounds placed
voluntarily by morons counting pennies
per day as they poor cement and hope
led to finally finding the cigar my lips
craved and cherished the taste through
all three walking past ponds elsewhere
in the town taking pictures of the grass
so green it could be played on if it weren’t
covered in manure actually made by man
I just read this in the book (which is quite fancy if I do say so myself) and I loved it, loved it, loved it.
thanks david…
i’m glad you’ve been around the sieve long enough for your name to be in print…
i hope you’re enjoying the book…
sure is nice to see your name in print… even if you put it there yourself isn’t it?
