Mexican War Streets |
Though by the path I lead |
The passing of time and the pouring of tea |
Are all I’ve lately seen |
O my soul |
Until the temporal bridge be burned |
Until our anchor stocks hold firm |
Where the hands of clocks don’t turn |
O my soul |
May our lips remain discreet |
While your traps are beneath our feet |
But how long before our tails are caught |
By our «free"thought? |
Sugar in the cane, candles low |
Kettle on the flame for the teapot? |
No I tremble at the thought |
Sugar in the cane, candles low |
Southside Flats where the upscale go |
I tremble at the thought! |
I tremble at the thought! |
On the Streets of Mexican Wars |
I battle with the |
Memory of a first fight |
In our contemptible youth |
I «ed White Nights |
Thinking that’d get rid of you |
And waited with a stone in my hand |
But you were quite right: |
Nature had another plan |
(&failed to run it by me) |
Nature had another plan |
Some other surrogate self |
To live in the sediment of so many somebody elses' |
Innumerable lives and you were right: |
It’s not a person who dies |
But worlds die inside us |
Sugar in the cane and the candles are low |
On the West End Bridge looking down at the Ohio River |
I tremble at the thought of what’s often referred to as 'karma.' |
The sugar and the candles are gone |
You panic like a mouse when the lights go on |
(I ADMIT, IT WARMS MY HEART TO WATCH YOUR WORLD FALL APART) |
The colorful hills talked me down from the bridge: |
To heck with all the drugs my parents did |
I’d like to meet whoever said the words we print in red |
With a coin in my teeth on the Mexican War Streets |
Rivers of sadness and mutual need |
In the loud desperation of social routine |
The rock of salvation, lightly esteemed |
And distance surging like oceans between us |
Suspended by strings over rotating wheels |
Via magnets and springs of Carnegie steel |
With representation our fashionable theme |
And unfathomably powerful forces |
Like oceans between us |
We have all the signs we need |
Do we decide not to read? |
My will and those who precede: the relation between |
Is listening beside me |
At night like some seismic machine |
While the metal vibrations of petrified men |
Are etched in translation by pendulum pens |
And the movements of underground plates |
Do nothing to bridge or exacerbate |
Oceans between us |
