Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Door Step Boys

source
East Village door step boys
beautiful birds
preening plumage
leathered wings
riveted on tight young bodies
Mirrored affectations
Eeking out crumbs
of attention
affection
Pissing desperation
on the sidewalk with the
cigarette butts
They will pluck out
eachother's eyes
to be the prettiest.
