31st Street

Broken Window
Open. Cool. Calm
A joint, java and cigarettes half smoked
Cobalt blue ashtray
Cobalt blue mind
Cecil was smooth
Jack, quiet
And then there was Carol
Time Elapsed
At times Relapse
In time trapped
Joints, java and cigarettes
Half smoked
Cobalt blue ashtray
Cobalt blue high
Heavy footsteps
Quiet people
Sirens
Sodomy
And broken bottles
Our first at last
Chunks of glass
Comfortable
Not cutting
Lacerations
No letting
Or am I forgetting
Joints, java and cigarettes
Half smoked
Cobalt blue ashtray
Cobalt blue sky
Truth
On a corner
Darker than you thought
Black dress
Backless
Blackness
You. Me
And everyone else
Half smoked,
Cobalt blue
