Upon Leaving Summer of Sam
|
| Blinding orange |
| fills my retinas, |
| making me stumble. |
| The fantasy world |
| I leave behind |
| of drugs |
| and sex |
| and death |
| is a better |
| alternative |
| to the decay |
| I see before me. |
| A tangerine hue |
| settles over |
| random lots |
| of weeds |
| and 1950’s |
| boom houses |
| scattered along |
| the side of the highway, |
| just like pieces |
| of the dream |
| I once had |
| about you and me. |
