heart for hire


a punk band,
some folky shit, too,
downloading the lights
that paint the sky.

time ticks away...

at the unhealthy angle
of walking pianos
and incredulous best shots.

I threw away
eleven cents,
because of the nickles
and the stars that shine on which.
a bench?

on a dark rainy night
in December in White Harlem,
I went looking for written survival,
finally found some.

in a sense,
it don't come easy.
in a sense,
it never will...
until you are killed.

Lexington to forgive.

my way is lighted
by the twinkling
flames of burning hearts.

the color of your eyes:
good enough to eat.
why can't we still play?
these are the worries of children.
