Been in a chokehold
This world can be so cold
Lucky if you can grow old
Often things shook up like a snow globe

how are their logistics organized?
what madman could be the boss?

"Sit Down!-Nevermind!" they bark
much to my surprise
my case manager's furrowed brow

He’s together now, they say,
turned out, free to walk the street;
adult child turned out to play
amid grey walls of concrete
streets strewn with disposed joys,
the stench of human fluids.

Bozos wave their lethal toys;
aging goths, pseudo druids,
faces...

where women share secrets
thinking no one else is listening
I get some of my best stories this way

the two in the next station are discussing weight loss surgery
I don’t tell everyone...
