michael's cafe

chicago, 2005

to throw this napkin at someone. land
somewhere so somebody knows i mean
business. i'll still pretend it wasn't me...

it was the waitress. she's worked here
less weeks than i have more. but i don't
work here, & still i'm not necessarily

aware of my hand moving this pen to the next
line. what genre was culture club? the
boy was a gender all his own. like

anthony huff shaving his eyebrows because of
"do you really want to hurt me?"

he was a tough kid in the projects. i damned
his soul because of his bravery. his foolishness,
too.

i love this line! it starts off sweet in
my mind & sounds good as i caress
this steak-sauce; stained remnant of

a napkin. knowingly only that
i'm moving my other hand:

a writing act to

the next

line

stopping/specifically

Hmmn, true about the boy having a gender all his own *smiles*...and to that bravery and foolishness in the projects. How many times I've seen & thought about that same bravery and maybe foolishness. Loving your writing as always.
