PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

running into

a friend’s friend

on South Street

He sees me

and recognizes me

and after a few minutes

I reorientate

and I remember him.

Yeah, we met

going to a Dead show

at Nassau Coliseum

he had this girlfriend;

really beautiful blonde

 who I am told

is also totally self centered

and a complete bimbolina

making his life miserable

but who am I to judge?

I might not throw her out of bed

It’s funny what a shapely body

can do to a man’s resolve

I can’t make judgment

simply because I can’t

be certain that I would

have the moral fiber

to actually rise above it
