Morning City (Free verse) by Jack Diamond
Free way hum
distant horns turning
avid chirping
musing my cracked eye open
dawn
always comes first
Back alley dialect
hobo toiling bottles
cat fight
ghetto chimes
spitfire Mexican hellcat polka
a frantic low frequency vibrates my spine
Sweetbread and laundry soap
smells like the panaderia where I score
need more sleep
too many doors
though a peaceful drift at 3:am
I have laied my pet in this trap again
I'm deep into it
through the roof
away from hard waters
free of the grip
looking forward with bent hip
my starting gun is loaded.
