Two Buildings on the Same Side of the Street

Two Buildings On The Same Street

It’s 2AM and it’s hot out

and the drugs

really starting to kick into

my neurotransmitters

So I hunt along the sidewalk, knowing

In my neighborhood the dark, lonely spots

That they would have

a community meeting

If they knew whete they were

and what

Was happening there, with us

first alone then— not

And finally there is cum

on the playground

Some kids fast asleep

dreaming nightmares

And I’m back to the hunt

on the sidewalk

There is this other place I go speeding away

Pass by the Baptist church

and feel guilty

Right down the street

there

Is a methadone clinic.

The opiate of the masses

I was glad

I wouldn’t be using either this night
