neighborhood pretty same @ 7 am… change never existed here anyway. gossips morning coffee , no 1 reads paper anymore. cigarette smoke heavy in air…

never enjoyed
taste of eggs
nor bacon
@ breakfast
seems
in deep
thought…

…though it’s monday, kids out on streets playing while parents yell , curse , throw things @ each other. , dog… dog keeps on barking. what’s new? old man takes sip pale coffee ponders @ thought. lights cigarette…

nobody notices
@ school
she’s ghost
lost in numb
better geeks

form of attention
@ least…

…hunger strikes again, dinner time after all. pulling trigger sick. again, perhaps neighborhood sick if don’t hear gunshot @ night…

thinks of mommy
cuddles
teddy
used tell
stories @ bed time
before god
took away
“if mommy’s here…”
there gunshot
…it’s
time
sleep…
