Tuesday Night
All day it’s just air, in and out;
until that clock strikes five, and I’m out;
On the road on the run
finally my spirit starts to hum
Some people do yoga, some watch tv
for me it’s poetry and tea,
Safe talk on a Tuesday night;
All day it’s a hard hit
the floor and my face
pounded to the pavement
getting up and falling again
Now I’m on my way;
I didn’t know how much it was needed
until the first night I walked in
and the energy was electric;
like a stick of dynamite dying to go off
each word spoken
poetry, smiles, tears, and laughter
My safe space, On a Tuesday Night.
