Sitting on my swing
I smell the toxic fumes
Of tar and sweat
In the air, it looms
 
Yet remnants of food
Is never seen here
There's a B & B nearby
I heard it's queer
 
They have a nice guy
He cleans up a lot
From leaves to snow
not missing a spot
 
He does the whole block
And I can't thank him enough
because I forgot his name
Shit, ain't life tough?

avocado just sits
at the window and stares
waiting for pizza and
gasping for air
 
half a banana
a dirty old fish
smells like chunk tuna
an elegant dish
 
in the rotunda
no chilidogs there
no beer and no mustard
but lots of green hair
 
the party on pine street
kept everyone up
the party on walnut
it just really sucked
 
my hands on my wallet
my fingers on fire
unbridled credenzas
the pentecost choir
 
a can of grape soda
a whiff of cocaine
come sit by my pillow
we'll watch while it drains
