Tell Your Story
In Illinois pine grove
New England Walden Pond camp fire
bus station shirt pocket Winston cigarette pack.
Tell Your Story
In calico poets' room
like Key West macho shark high gauge line
downtown Lexington Avenue subway run.
Tell Your Story
To tweed coat psychiatrist
911 NYPD steep cliff rescue
howl down Sullivan street
shout out wild west lasso passions
house arrest in barb wire Wyoming corral.
Tell Your Story
Broken heart blue jean jacket gambits
dead end Westchester back roads
Washington D.C. one toke over
the line desolation blues
Tell Your Story
In mental hospital padded seclusion room
occupational therapy hot coffee break
Mobile gas station New Jersey side
Holland Tunnel,
Lopez Island December New Age wood shack.
Tell Your Story
Savoy Lounge Rolling Rock howls
steamfitter bold beat prosody
no piano scale lies
no ectasy tab brain fracture
Tell Your Story
From Kuztown, Pennsylvania Main Street
Pikes Market Seattle coho salmon fresh catch
Tell Your Story
On flatbed truck Salinas bound
bright eyes Mexican migrant workers
Monterry Pennisular puff cloud vibrations
Second Avenue stone park bench
David Carle's cool bop painter's groove.
Tell Your Story
On Samaritan 24 hour hot line
to Bette Portsmouth miracle rooted
closing time barroom comrades
