i'm stll here...

the bar is empty...
but i'm stll here...

summer wreckage..

fragile dumb girls...
the butterflies have almost gone...
dreaming of a hollywood lifestyle..
now that your here i'm scared...
summer wreckage...

strange places...

train stations and waiting rooms...
strange places where i once saw you...

almost like a boy...

i dream of you...
your dad was there
he told me to look for you
you were divorced w/ children + dating someone new
your friends thought you were beautiful...
almost like a boy...
your hair was short but your eyes were still the same...
i dream of you...

on the sidewalk...

johnny passed out on the sidewalk again...

family kinda girl

she said i'm a family kinda girl...
i said no you dont know what your talkin about..

not a dime in my pocket...

another friday nite...left alone...
not a dime in my pocket..
wishing, waiting
hoping yearning...
for the new dawn.
a cold and lonely nite...

novel in pieces

empty promises on crowded streets
reading the words from a novel in pieces

you dont know why

you cant and you dont know why

music mesmerizes

sunday
summer
people
music blares
jazz moments followed by applause..
dont wanna stay but its hard to get away
music mesmerizes
howl festival tompkins square park

another day lost..

the melancholy sound of a NY street trumpet..
a lonely wind blowing on a beautiful sunny november day
autumn leaves falling aimlessly
the magnificence of the city
14th street union square park+its surrounding buildings
another day lost...

xmas time in nyc

faces in the windows
lights..traffic..rain
xmas time in nyc
cold+wet
holiday cheer+lonely tears...

ego's + bus stations

ego's + bus stations NYC
oh...you live in nu jerze
is it far? do you have a car?
where do you live?
ps im from the streets

bad advice

sleepless nights early dawn...
homelessness
trains missed + trains late
anxieties and advice handed down from fathers
bad advice

i sing my song to you

...i sit + watch the people.
seems like they're all going someplace i'm not goin...
then i sing my song to you

on the bus...+ walkin soaked in the rain

faded stars

faded stars in dingy bars all talkin bout past glory..
i listen well+ time will tell
not hoping for their story

you walk like a flame

...where can we meet?? out in the streets you walk like a flame burning my eyes...

opinions of a mind not mine

you twisted my head...
injected + fed
opinions of a mind not mine...
beating in...
+ lessons learned
but roads walked arent always the same...

left to wonder/wander

...a faded dream but it really aint...
another day left to wonder/wander
left alone to drift and time passes...
how is it that i have found myself feeling the same as when i once did+decided that a change was in order after all the hours that have past

fast+slow motion flash

fuck em... I was lost.. wandering...until you found me. drifting trampin roaming.. fading in + out in a fast+slow motion flash..flashing, thrashing moving like an ocean out of control..i walked the streets days + nights alone hoping to catch a glimpse of you.. a smile, a twinkle on a random eye... a smirk on a assorted face of childlike beauty in the city...

waitin for you

..it dont ever feel like a waste of time... talkin to you, staying w/ you.. holdin your hand.. and waitin for you...

let me go

...a tug ..a leash around my neck..i wanna stray but you pull me back.. let me go, let me go
