oh to be a beat

oh to be a beat

to have sufficient change

to daily ride the train

to make fateful forays

to the village

to hangout

at huncke’s hideout
to be a tomkin’s square millionaire

derelicting

gaslighting my way about the day

 

oh to be an artist

the hardest part of which must be

to harness

the mind and intentions

to dream but less in abstract

to befriend folks

to facilitate appreciate my neuroses

to weave historical and literary context into my stories

oh to be a beat
