Skipping saturdayA Poem by Jean-Pierre GarciaThere'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.
