dejado y salida


drinking.
one.
last.
beer.

on the stoop.
in the rain.

waiting to see a taxi-cab.
with its light on.

got my suitcase.
full of nothing.

gonna get on a night airplane.
with a moth and a plan.

this two horse town of Manhattan.
will miss my past hotel shoulders and this week's knees.

made a silly stink.
last Thursday.

paying late fees on it now.
I'd buy it back if I could.

that.
key.
is.
hanging.
on.
the.
holder.

And I sit and write underwater poetry in the back of a cab using my intelligent cellular telephone.
