A Poem by 9thstreetmatt
"

sitting at henry's where i fell into books, cigarettes and staring at the woman who washed my hair at sakaroffs.

"

                      holy eagerness.

         laughter of wise seconds.

                      wise seconds                     comically creating passion

              the r u n n i n g -

the " i forgot today and will forget tomorrow"  sad awakened feeling.

 

                    STARING NOW 

                                      at                you                            through the              open 

                    door        that           arrests my vision 

from across            the street.
