New Orleans

Well placed out,

surrounding barrier.

Musical inventions

from where its been created.

The streak and the rhythm

of Charlie Treats well consumed life.

The findings in the streets

advantages, advantages, advantages.

The need of money

to meet the day's pay

day to day.

Meets, meets, meets.

It's the repeat on replay everyday of his life.

Consumption,

this place,

a little piece of him.

The food, music, what he became, what he is, what he's lived through.

The expectations

of run ins with peeps from the other states.

The Puzzle pieces completed

Deep within, within, within.

Never to be broken from where he came.

This stone wall is the barrier of his heart.

This street is the road that

consumed him to stop

at every stop sign he sees.

Sugar cane is the smell

of consumption that takes him home.

Running in with people from others states

is expectations of dollar bills to be followed.

New Orleans is never to be broken

it is maps of alleyways

that lead to Charlie Treats heart.
