All Washed Up


All Washed Up

Getting closer now
That rumble in the distance
Winds picking up
Delinquent signs.

Peeling
Off street corners
Easy deals
Drunk in the sun.
Crimping down
Notices to quit.

Shooting up
Back lanes
Window boxed
High rise, lifts out
Abandoned cars.

Flights of fancy
Flapping on the
Clothes line.
Liberation movements
Threatening rain.
