None Yet

Another snowy day which will become a snowy night No socks on my feet My boots are wet I have raw, red blisters. Go into a McDonald's And sit in a corner. Lift my wet feet out of wet boots And rest them on the cold tiles, lightly. On the wall there is a framed picture of Ronald McDonald A teardrop frozen upon his face The way the white powdered skin of his lips is sheathed tight Beneath a red painted frown Looks like skin sheathing a swollen ***** Bellevue psychiatric hospital staff wheel me around In a quaint wooden wheelchair And listen to me tell them about the cat I have to feed The rent I have to pay My endless retreat Then release me back to the streets With dried boots and dried feet.

Greg, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
