and so,
he cracked him in the head
with the pool cue,
now,
it's your game,
he said to the man
and walked out of the bar.
song birds were singing
and he delighted
in dark shadows overtaking empty streets.
in the distance
a dog did howl,
found that fascinating
the barking of a dog distant and growling.
he bought a lottery ticket.
got the numbers from
the obituary page
of the asbury park press.
never checked the numbers
never wanted
too
on longs peak
he made it to broadway
when the hail came down
and the ledge
was coated with ice
and the view
down to chasm lake
was obscure.
it tickled a lonely spot
in his imagination
and the ledge was where
he always wanted to be.
he had figured it all out
the in s and out
of never giving a ****
the cards we are dealt
at birth
are marked
one day i saw his
picture
on the obituary page
and he had the BIGGEST smile.
