with enormous expectations
like those of being a noted artist
from the suburban sidewalks of
the ***** streets of Michigan
ended up in the Air Force
the hair cut was the worst
had my hair down to my ***
exited with it barely over my ears
I wanted to get educated find
Something, I didn't know what,
in society and attended college
one semester
I would dedicate myself fully
the next party too hard,
so it took me
eight years
to get a Bachelor's degree
by then had two kids
a wife and an extended family
of her mom grandma, sister
aunts papas all of us in a house together
when I got a paying job finally
she didn't want to leave all the
unhired help the unpaid diaper changers
and she stayed there
I moved on and it tore my ***** into
small pebbly stones all shrunken up
all alone in a big house
bent my nights up with a tab
at the bar and loose women and
giggly ******
sometimes thinking most times not
I gave up then found a new she
and when I did the ex came crawling back and
I admit I used her
revenge *** is some of the best
I got ****** bereft of feelings for a long time
had a callous heart I found a few
years laters again
on the side of a small town
called Clayhatchee.
where the streets are
repaved and the dogs
run free
along side me old
all keeping pace with my
strides of going nowhere
ever again
dreamily
