A WINTER KITCHEN
a poem by Derrek Faraday
I'm very tired, running away
To a New York street in the fray
But fret as it’s cold
Who could bear to sleep alone in households?
Pay my debts off, I'm getting by
Money talks and I'm telling lies
But that is nature, we'll never stop for yellow lights
It's not a sign, we are finding our blight
Week for the drugstore, I see a face
All too familiarly replaced
That's how I know this street
For its gross, amazing change and its beats
Never settled, never asked why
Transit speeds too fast to remember the sky
I have money I abuse, I've never seen it before
Love's labor chore
Hell freezes nowhere
Money is everywhere
Homes don't move at the speed of life
And that's a sign
Don't forget to visit the GUA Shop
