south of 33

another night but the moon has yet to rise
above the darkened street
when will they update the satellite image
three tremendous trees have fallen
one controlled one caused no damage at all

another night head down on the pool table
turned into a desk for the winter months
doesn't have to wear shoes and a jacket

another night head aches
all around water instead of caffeine tonight
sitting in a pile of his own thought
both new and old
random but completely organized
as well should be a scattered mess
of a mind somehow he still
the late night boat ride
south of 33 the river runs
below the street and feed the enormous tree
planted in a bed of moss
creeping closer each year
to the back door

another night with an electric heater
at his feet and can't get the plumber
to finish the job paid for
never-mind more heat down below
south of 33 came one time
to gather things left behind
doesn't realize the torture
chamber he could create
in all this space created junk pile

another night of frustration
knowing the saying heard once
that failure is merely
practice for success...

nothing concluded 158

last name begins with an L
so it's only right
that eye light up the night
nothing concluded
just means when one's done

move on to another one
unfortunately
someone sleeps
high above
and he thinks below

trying hard to not
be offended by
the poems no one reads
even when given as
gifts of thoughts

nothing concluded
the song eye will sing
until no more ink from pen
breath from lungs
late night session

smoking out all
the days impurities
bet it's close to midnight
falling down
feels like only five minutes...
