    Portrait of a Drunken Boy

    Half-past one,
    The street-lamp sputtered,
    The street lamp muttered,
    The street lamp said…

    —It was only that and light was all it needed


    and a certain cleanness and order…

    Here comes the lonely pimp,


    In his purple hat,
    All by himself.
    Where da hoes at?
    Should have never tried
    To be not-him—
    But how could he have
    known dat?

    Swimshoe puddles slosh.


    Lamp orbs of light along, alone watch.
    A bell rocks, clanging
    Forlorn.

    No one at diner.
    No one in café.

    Felt fedora shadow


    Slants across face
    And fancies of lone lamppost leaning sleuth
    Flash across his mind.

    It’s devious, it waits.


    Who can play this game?
    The fog slinks towards his feet.
    Undone. To bed, to rise

    To fill
    The chocolate scam,
    A flavor that’s bitter and smooth.
    Senses have been made most crucial to him.
    Now an empty can.
