bald Sampson

overcast and gray sort of like the color of confusion
my mind
doing circles around the closed sign posted on the door
can barely take a deep enough breath
all the sound is muffled
circling the square
sitting here waiting my life away
watching as the lonely waitress walks westward
who am I
wondering as the color of the clouds gets lighter
here at Angus’ Ranch
where dreams are forgotten
the regulars are treated just as though they are tourists
god bless Sampson’s final lock of hair…
