11/8/2003A Poem by 9thstreetmatti'm not going to say i am a great poet. in fact my brother said i lacked concrete imager often with my poems and enjoyed my prose .. . .. .. .. but i just put s**t on paper. light cigarettes. tickle the hearts of those who can't write and live through meall i want is something to really taste. something to stretch its wings in the morning - something to loose its breath and rise - when i rise kiss me good bye as i fade into the world of winter mornings and turnpikes.
five days five nights looking for saviours
...all thoughts are swinging on a set of ideas and phone calls to grasp the fervor of love. if she only said the word.
never touch my pockets . i have things there that i won't share. i have things that there alone live within the soul. they fall out sometime. they roll down the side walk. and that is how i loose a little bit of myself each year...rolling down alley ways and streets.....looooose change for others to greet...everone owns a little bit of everyone else. we all pick up the shining shards of soul... splinters of our personage.
