TAKE IT FROM ME
(14th Street)
He's got an old name that bears
watching - yes - and I am
watching for you. A few new
beers in hand, some guy
slouches forlornly by the unlit
corner, and that odd, old
serving window framed in
ancient green wood, fronting
the street. They just don't make
things like that any more, there's
just nothing like that left around.
I know the corners and the alleys
too; you can take it from me.
-
Yesterday has come already?
My God, what does that mean?
I saw you, startled, in that great
white dress, all yours and yours
alone. You looked wonderful
there, take it from me, and
without the sun even the
heat's not warm. I am
watching for you.
