And looking around,
All versions of people
Are there to be found:

In snow and ice out there he'll be,
clearing sidewalks and streets...

In the dim-lit alley of the soul's bazaar,
Were jazz and jive spill from ajar,
We tap our feet, snap fingers, under stars,
And speak in verses, raw and without pause.
The city breathes, a living, pulsing beat,

The Gun ShopThe gun seems gun-shy in this space
where deer hides hang on rustic walls
and granddad-tick-tocks beat, instead
of hearts in hollowed skins. The gun
