Well the summer is…………….. over
Thank God
I hate the summer
Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin' is the life for me.
Land spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.
Well if I was soukie, toukie, or pookie
Banging an hanging at the jersey shore
I would y love it
The smell of freshly, cut grass
The Sickly sweet smell of fruit, rotting sweetly on its vines
Clean air, time square
.
Here I am here
Listening to the dumpsters as they bang out a song
That calls every fly in the universe
To my own little private Idaho
Swear, funk, and dog droppings………..
The ending smell of roasting meat
Graduated into the smell of rotting garbage
Which taken together Compose a uunic song
congestion
every one stuck up underneath every one
Radios blasting
Dogs barking
Cars and smoke
And children fighting over a piece of grass
Yup I would love the summer
Where I dining on the Rivera
Feasting on lobsters near a white house in Maine
All the while listening to the crackle of fireworks
Celebrating the life and times of some obscure
Town father
In some beautiful square in a almost nameless town
Newark is where I'd rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a project view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue
I would love it
If the sounds that I heard
Were not the staccato sounds of gunshots
Or of cars back firing
Or constant sound of some language that I can’t
Even pretend to understand
And I am not talking about
just Spanish……………..Willis
I am talking about bad Spanish
Ebonics,Portuguese spoken by people
who sing instead of talk
Dew rags and drama
Lucys
And blunts and cuts
I am sorry
..The chores.
...The stores.
...Fresh air.
...Times Square
I cant wait until the first snow
The cold…………….. it kills the germs
It Drives people indoors
Where they belong
It Cuts off the smoke and the drunken singing
It Makes body parts that are shown
That are better served by not being shown at all
Go undercover where they belong
Yup its time to flee
You are my life
Good-bye, city strife.
Green Acres we are there.
I yearn for the cold
And its silence
I pine for the country life of silence and reflection
For the painless end of the summer
