I pulled over here
just to rest
I’m still heading towards
that city over the hill
Months pass.
Years pass.
And all I’m left with
is this place
Time flows through
this valley faster than water
and all I’m left with’s
transient life [is some life]
People here
accept it all,
and all I’m left with
are my thoughts
Are there those
so subdued
they have no hope
yet they don’t care?
Are there those
so subdued
all endeavors
are equal to them?
Are there those
so subdued
they’re tranquil
All the time?
Death arrives
slowly
to the doorway
of the mansion
on the peak
of the hill
Took its time
still punctual.
Gradual,
it’s never late.
Death arrives
quickly
here
in the valley
though they never
say it’s early.
Now I’ve become
one of them.
We’re dirty people
takes too much
to clean up
And what’s the difference
in the long run?
And what’s the distance
you can run?
And how much time
does it take?
I pulled over here
just to rest
I’m still heading towards
that city over the hill
Time’s past
time’s gone,
and all I’m left with
is this place
Patience is mine
patience is what
I can judge
others by
People here
accept it all
and still
I can’t stand it
There are those
so subdued
it makes no difference
what’s rewarded
there are those
so subdued
nothing is better
nothing is best
there are those
so subdued
they don’t worry
about a thing
Death
comes to me
easily
everything
mortifies me
then keeps me
living
Death lingers
in the wings,
threatening,
making me wait
There are those
who believe
in peaks
and valleys,
judgments
and achievements,
but not down here
in this poor,
peaceful
community.
Do the people
make the place
Or does the place
make the people?
I’m a stranger here
pollen stains my skin
while they all try
to sell me land
on behalf
of those above
while I wait
to return home
And what’s the difference
in the long run?
And what’s the distance
you can run?
And how much time
does it take?
Waiting

Poor Guy

I have something to share
And no one to share it
Something to say
No one to hear it
Something to show
No one to see it
No one
Turns their face to me
I can see you trying
Trying to drown
your love for me
It’s struggling
Weeping
Writhing
Surviving
What will it become?
abandoned
Abandoned
Am I different
from everyone?
Bereft
forlorn
Scorned
Is everyone?
What are you
trying to prove?
That I’m weak
Trample me
That you’re strong
Not in need?
What are you / Is that what you
turning into? / really care about?
I hear you calling
calling me
“What a poor guy”
Pity me
Pity casts no blame
Naked feeling
I’m disgusting
What have we become?
Abandoned
Abandoned
You know I’m here
Know it’s cruel
To Benefit
But benefit
And profit
Is all you’ll do
You try to cure
Yourself of me
I’ll never know
how I’m a disease
try to say
you shed no tears
you only care
For money sex appeal
i can see
i can hear
you can’t think
after so many years
that I don’t feel
that I don’t share
I know you
you doubt yourself
abandoned
abandoned
Now you only speak
in euphemisms
Is that how you
talk to yourself?
Don’t pretend too well
Do you still fool yourself?

Conductors Chicago, Illinois
"Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad
men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' "
