Non Prophet

under airplanes,
near railroad tracks,
back where
love and drugs replace each other.

I dug a hole
and buried
a hatchet
back there.

let's say
yesterday
is just rusty chains
and clouds.

I don't mind
much, but
even butcher knives
see sunny days.

harmonica solos
take me there,
like the tops of stairs
not going anywhere.
