MAN the minds a'wanderin latley
stay and go stray pets and strong names
strong people make better citizens
weak people make better soldiers
on snowy days
1000 miles away
february rains crystals on little girls waiting for kisses on their eyelashes
and frozen finger tip walking
hands numb when alone
and alone so often
a mind settled in warmth
but the physical refuge
a nomad
following herds of green paperback bills
only the darkest of young men
will have you see them as white
sip their chai tea in solitude
go to the cinema alone
wait for their bad habits to kick down the roadblocks
sleep in empty parking lots
and take the bull by the horns

and then celestial trumpets knock the webs from such thoughts
sweep the dirt under the rug
and start again
walking walking
moving toward an end?
daydreaming of winter just isn't helping me warm up tonight
if i bight down on this memory
i'll loose sensual reminders of where i've been
remember
keychains are always there
pocket and table and chair
gifts never given
hands trampled
left bare
