a dirty flats existential smear
& late night
street side
disappointment
no cabs no cabs no cabs
all along the adventure-walk home
as promise beats the flesh
in dream yesterdays sepia hue
~
i almost hallucinate those gone gone days
& i dream dream dream
of the booze mishaps
in the back alley flap
of
the
winter warm smoky bar
&
of
the adventure-walks back home
anticipation trumps act again
in the face of blooming roses
