Grey skies

in March

   I got an orange lighter

burn it down

  swamp rat

        go book shopping

             North Beach

          Trieste

      go thrifting

       in Manteca 

       get stoned and eat junk food

      Buy a perfect polyester seersucker 

   try it on for size

   Wear it 

try it

  run down 

  my leg stopped throbbing 

    But it's cold out
