shrugging off
flim flam tangles
tangled on fourteenth street
mentally i check a funky
clipboard & receipt
edging up on escalators
buzzing fulla bugaboo
my brain contains unmitigated
packs of curiosity
pulling wicked chains from wax
a simply not surprising thwack
folding back the layers of
a steamy brand of street smarts
riled & disgusted
i sweat out gritty toxins
breaking balls without complaint
until nighttime air descends
nailing coffin lid to street
something off the dial this
a dangerous disheveled loop
of happenstance and mystery
guess i can't escape
its constantly malevolent
& shifty-eyed demonic presence
nicking ticking
nicking ticking
nicking ticking
time-bomb city
