The Pedestrian Bridge On Ortega Street
By Jazz Daffy
Raping subtlety
Like the sickly little girl that she is
Is far too enjoyable to be avoided
For a boney-eyed liar such as myself
Choose your song carefully
And play your pawn in stereo
Cool your eyes
And break my name
Half-moon and a full house:
Spotlights tend to drift
When they've fallen, uneaten,
For far too long
Unauthorized Copying Is Prohibited.
Ask the author first.
you can have the poem if you take the sour minds that go with it

"and play your pawn in stereo" is a striking line to me....the poem itself has a gentle sadness like so much of your work....will done
