Bourbon Street

True story.....

Bourbon Street

 

Sitting on a sidewalk in

New Orleans 

With a hurricane in both hands

Take a final pull on a cigarette

Then listen to the bands

Bourbon Street is calling

Can you hear her

She is calling you by name

?

Author's Note

Photo is of me on Bourbon Street & my final cigarette....

You must be due one more final song, very soon.
A great rendering of a fast trip to easy street.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i feel the hurricane calling the poet...the final music, the final song, the final words, the final cigarette, and then ...?

[Creepy Swine Guy]

Oh, never answer her call Poet. She is a wicked temptress. She means to have you for her own nourishment and spit out your remains.

[Neville]

Thanks for the advice CSG but the lure is so strong I anticipate a return before too long, N

[Samuel Dickens]

My friend Robin quoted Hendrix, so I'll quote Neil Young and say "Love is like a hurricane". Highly enjoyable words, Neville.

You have been there Nev and this is a lovely succinct portrayal of getting by by the blanket of substances.

[Neville]

Thanks John, 'The Big Easy' is probably the only place in the US where having a drink on the hoof is a by law

Better spot in the rain......Napoleons, it cascades around you, sucking the time right out of the air.
