�The lost of Time�


Reality   rarely sees
a young lion
or a young eagle
at the Nuyorican Poets Caf�. 

They are endangered,
are they not?
Yet the house that Pi�ero roared
& stuck up his middle claw,

is now mostly filled with sheep
& their competing �baa!�
See who can maraca the tables
& chairs like a 10-pt earthquake.

According to Truth,
la madre de Reality,
sheep pay more for pasture
sprinkled with rat poison

as lions keep making love
to the thorns in their paws
as eagles fly short, believing
themselves to be chickens & roosters.

Don�t blame it on Greed,
Opportunity, y Hyprocrisy.
Not even His Story. 
Some people gotta eat.

But on Time, at broad daylight,
dangling his legs over the ledge
of the caf�s 5-story rooftop,
nostrils powdered with white lies,

about to slam his book
                                  to
                                  the

                                  ground.
