Skipping saturday

A Poem by Jean-Pierre Garcia
"

There's a first time for everything

"
Every echoed chambers ring like a belfry caught in studio reverb
it was hollow like an empty deja vu-future that has yet come to pass 
a laugh quilted in insufficient funds and broken glass-guiltily jilted and melting in class
as if burned like ash
you think you type windows between tape and gin
again, again, again

relaxing in a grin 
a part from the past 
of what has and has been
relying on fate smashed into fences sputtering of repentance 
a pittance of a sentence riding on mcdonalds tips scoffing within the trunk 

scoffed coffee burns in the way that I talk--sharp and angrily 
I don't want to be
 resting in two minute naps that seem to last into forever
tasting ice and testing the weather
stormily full of hail 
directed at the clientele can't you tell he's a
 a miser, a mister, a master-ful thing
fading with the sun
hanging off a green river two weeks after an old person dance 
falling as flat as a sharp note
they were only knees
nothing else-- 
Just metallic.
