I have to follow the dictates of
my heart and pen-
this morning my journey to
back alleys and dusty bricks
New Orleans has a surplus of.
Why, my fingers tap this or that
leading me to the despair of love
or love of despair;
really, who knows,
who cares?
This universe we call our own-
the one we know; we alone-
travelled (I'm in Illinois) to
NOLA as far as the nearest bar-
so many tears, dear god-
how long can I weep,
and for what?
For me?
For what wasn't, what won't be?
Hosh-posh, mish mash-
our inner beings a smashing of memories
and desire-
life is a hodgepodge- a quagmire
of wishes and dreams-
some fulfilled but most not-
at the end-
memories is all we got.

Okay then-
I have to follow the dictates of
my heart and pen-
this morning my journey to
back alleys and dusty bricks
New Orleans has a surplus of.
Why, my fingers tap this or that
leading me to the despair of love
or love of despair;
really, who knows,
who cares?
This universe we call our own-
the one we know; we alone-
travelled (I'm in Illinois) to
NOLA as far as the nearest bar-
so many tears, dear god-
how long can I weep,
and for what?
For me?
For what wasn't, what won't be?
Hosh-posh, mish mash-
our inner beings a smashing of memories
and desire-
life is a hodgepodge- a quagmire
of wishes and dreams-
some fulfilled but most not-
at the end-
memories is all we got.
