Church Street Is Burning
(excerpt)Church Street #14
Cheery Charon……………………the neighbourhood pimp
garnished in his pin stripe uniform
dragged a garbage bag of laundry
into………………………………….. ACHERON’S LAUNDROMAT
and fed last nights sins into the yawning mouths of washing machines.
Cheery Charon flicked out a comb
…………………………………………parted slithering hair
removed his shades……………..slowly smiling
at the audience of patrons who have watched each of his steps.
.
Life is a whore house with too many guests
pretending they want pleasure
when all they want is rest.
