Shoe-shy,
alley entrepreneur
reads yesterday’s market report
with Sterno snores.
Herringbone and heels
crowd four-chair tables,
stabbing Romaine and Salmon
in the heart of house notes,
and higher learning.
They both drink Sun
on the back of their necks,
rain drips from the tip of a nose
whether its perfumed or bloody.
The DOW dropped 30 points...
Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

I agree with Eric. Oh, wait, he hasn't posted yet. Well, when he does, whatever he says, I'll agree with him.:):):)
Guy in the alley probably slept better with the news. Nice contrast, Pat!
