Up and down each tree-lined street
Where childhood friends and neighbors meet
In history...

The wind whistling through the trees…

My collared shirt free of cigarette burns…

Pushed back against the wind flirted with woods

city streets, a lost soul, wondering in

a place to sleep.
His hands trembling, from indulging, in
alcoholic binges, trying to forget and
escape, a...

Fast Food Blues
The streets are lined with golden arches,
Plastic smacking lips and smiling chef faces,
Hamburgers competing with pizzas,
Who are competing with Oriental take-outs,

at the Subway Subs
a set aside frontage overlooked
by bushes and idling traffic.
Further along, the ephemeral
Pop-up Party Shop;
when not ‘up’

sells T-shirts
a print for printing...
