               you vs. me(lody)

brought up to be brought into
a bristling, a thug-like tug
and here I am standing
the swirl and gush and push
of city, torrents and torrents of city

horrible, she said, just horrible
music, I said, it's all music

thud thud, and hum and drum
of blood and thoughts
lacking, slacking
nerves and guts of wood

the steel so still and it sometimes
makes me ill
when I stop to think about it

but music, I say, it's all music
and she gets around to agreeing with me

  I am French-Canadian, a Writer/Salaryman, live in Prague, Czech
  Republic, and have an adaquate voice and a clumsy, yet endearing,
  sense of rhythm.

                        staring down the Strong Man

  it's Sunday and the Strong Man is on
  his fifth gin and tonic of the night
  there's the usual backdrop of burned filter and gray smoke
  and crashing voices, coated in thin blue conversation
  a peculiar carelessness as the spiral gets
  defined, refined, relit and there is laughter
  somewhere behind the face of a young American blonde
  two tables to the right
  high pitch and strike-out
  these dolls fall down with good drama
  alright, fine, some kind of holy rhythm
  in the ice cubes
  easier on the eye than a hickey
  or a fly

  it's still Sunday and the Strong Man is
  sucking on the mouth of the American blonde
  the windows pulse dull green while the sky
  polishes, licks and claws at the scenery with passion
  no accounting for taste as the rank odour of infatuation
  rushes around the room like a Saturday morning cartoon
  I rub my tongue over my teeth and almost
  remember your name before I make it back
  to the space where a molar should be
  low blow and walk-out
  worse luck has bagged better men
  that's it, sure, settle in for good
  or for bad
  I catch the Strong Man's eye
  and nod my head toward the door
