Found Fortune on the Way Home

 

Walking, at 3 am, in the land of

Bathtub Mary, low rent and cockroach colonies;

I find a 10 dollar bill.

I pick it up, smile and know

that tomorrow I eat.

Tinnitus

 

It's 1am

and I feel compelled

to write a poem.

In the distance

a train sings it's

lonely song.

I imagine it is

going to some place

I haven't been.

Maybe Denver,

Omaha or,

Frigid Fork something

or other.

It's taking coal to the

power plant.

No adventure in that.

The train cries off

into the distance,

and I am left with

silence and this damned

ringing in my ears.

One Day in the Park

 

People walking by

as I sit and watch,

my super power,

reading of minds,

kicks in.

An old man,

with a stern face

is thinking about

how he shouldn't have answered

that email from the

deposed king from Africa.

Now he's out $200.00!

And his bank account is closed.

A lady walking her

shizu, wishes the

damn dog would crap

so she can get home

to watch American Idol.

That was an easy one.

She was holding a plastic bag.

A lady in a long skirt

and pentecostal bun

is fretting over the idea that,

any day now, the government

will force her to get micro chipped.

She sent money for a prayer cloth

to a televangelist.

A homeless man

talking to himself,

has all sorts of crazy shit

going on in his head....

He's nuts!

A cheap bottle of whiskey

will quiet those voices later on.

This goes on for hours;

a suicide case

waiting to happen.

A couple of frat boys

hoping no one finds out

their love for each other.

A Chinese man

who I can't understand

(all super powers have limits)

An old widower

wishing death would come soon

so he could see his love.

A banker and a drug dealer

thinking about one thing:

Money.

All of these people

have one thing in common:

Life.....
