“You have left it a bit late going
to New York driving a laundry
truck, I think you’ll be better
off going to Florida,” the kind
lady at the American embassy
said.” But I have a dream bought
a street map, know of a place
called Bronx, a friend of mine
reads poetry by the subway’s
exit to cheer people up as they
are hastening to work. The pay
as a driver may not be good
but at least I got to do my own
laundry for free” She didn’t
hear me. “ If you don’t like
Florida, go to New Mexico I’ve
got a brother there and he’ll
fix you up with a job Ok?”
A man in a blindingly white,
starched shirt and newly pressed
suit appeared asked me what
I thought of the dictator in Iraq
“Go get him” I said hoping to
sound like John Wayne. We
both smiled broadly and shark
like as we swaggered down
the embassy’s roman steps.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
