FRENCH FRIED

 

He has French Fried friendships

And writes poems without stanzas

He lives the worst of nightmare trips

He listens for the music of mad dancers

 

He goes on unnamed streets and boulevards

He travels light and seldom bites

He moves easy and stays out of strange backyards

He lights candles then gets out of sight

 

Everyone he comes across is always lost

And there’s all those ships passing in the night

Without trying, he gathers no moss

He stays loose when others are quite uptight

 

Memories and dreams have been surrendered

Honor and grace he can no longer find

Wondering why he still seeks the tired and tender

He hopes at least they will say that he was kind.
