What a picture
The ice cream man sings
as his chiding truck
drives like a snake through
my neighborhood
I look around from the
hood of my car, engine
is still hot from
my foot and pedal
I am alone
while children play
I am alone
when parents pray
I am alone
Looking in the mirror
What a picture
vivance was closer to me
than my own summer skin
and the cold hands of love
that I thought exists.
The truck wails on
through its speakers
"Go back to childhood
and get high from sugar"
.... instead of pain
What a picture
unknowingly taken
unwilingly sacred
chillingly naked
Thank you
for the D O D.
forever and always
June 5th-15th
I'm probably going to be reminded of this every time I see an ice cream truck.
