Snap Shot in Black and White

 

Sad eyed vagabond of tears

Wandering forgotten boulevards

Where rumpled people lay

Child of dusty memories

Following shadow lawns

City park a lost paradise

Hidden behind fallen houses

Merry go round spinning laughter

Where happy children frolic

Under the darkening sky

Streetcars ambling like gentlemen

With slow gait of worn pride

Forge of sparks on rails

Illuminating twilight fear

Through Minos labyrinth of dreams

Deep into underworld of blues

Wind breezing oaken sigh

Far beyond the broken life

Of boyhood despair

Cars honking like geese

In an endless parade

Young boy drifting on floppy shoes

Down littered avenues
