Walking Down An Indecisive Road

When the light
is a dust bowl in the sky
and the night
is upon my back
through my sight
a oiseau takes flight and
golden Nymphs prance about
      
this town. this town
with its freckles and the red
the red underpass turned to black.
   
a bench with grey and tussles
with leaves and I sat
I sat with minds and thought
thought of days with dew
dew soaked grass and
grass with cigarette ash.

the man on ground with frown
raggedy with mustard seeds
a forced recollection of seedy past
past with a cast
cast with no love or crown
crown with my old frown.

      in remembrance of things past
      my past with codone
      Papaver somniferum
      an alkaloid from Pfiser
         PfiserPfiser.

      wondering through minefields
      with clay and
      no spare sunlight
      we sat and
      prayed with Aladdin
      like on a TV movie
      but our colors distorted
      and the walls shimmered
      and maybe cried
      through a tunnel in time.

      wondering through the middle
      of a hazy trip
      with silver dipping
      my heart slowly beat
      and i was glad
      and i remembered
      but it was fuzzy
      
            as a child on a
            Ritalin street
            games with sticks
            and ice
            but thrice two kids with lice
            and the little girls blinked twice
            no saps and caps
            but Mother said no
            and i remembered
            but it was linty
            
                        sheath
                        soul
                        little bow --
                        bow with foe
                        and little
                        JOE.
            
launched a coin into a cup
and tethered on
on off bench crumbled into
distant past but my
fickle feet tumbled on
lumbering past oak trees and
well-meaning ladies with bonnets.

      this corner
      this corner where our hands
      touched and i was less
      then before
      my spirit gone with
      your stuff
      stuff i listly passed and
      they grabbed my arms and
      drove me to a date with a bell

now the sun is blinding the sky and
my travels go on
on to and fro
and my feet tumbling on
indecisive.
