a few more from fla

something like hotel mornings
and buisness suits carrying carry ons
beside mesh shorts and sandals
but everyone and their toiletry case
has a purpose
round these lobbies
the minor league mets
looking so dominican
speaking some sort of crazier
spanish


last night
over florida's route one
I saw the moon
all sliver and sideways
grey smile in the pitch
now, it was an authentic moon
but, it was not an authentic grin
everything down here is bittersweet
tropical weather and tropical insects
the golden years, my ass!!!


seen more real estate agencies
in 3 days then
seen all my life
their sellin the tropics
plot by plot
palm by palm
to old folks who love
holy air conditioning


gotta wonder
just a little bit
if all these fogees retire
to this hell of a heat wave state
still chasing
the fountain of youth
they learned about in third grade
maybe we all still
believe in myths
