5025. PEEKSMANVILLE

PEEKSMANVILLE
Not holding on tightly, taking too loose a
stretch, the words and ways of this easy
player are gone and lost forever. On the
side of a hill in the west 70's there's a
monument to Schwerner, Chaney and
Goodman  dead civil-rights workers from
NYC, in Philadelphia Mississippi. It just is.
They died in 1964 in a sort of unstated war.
Maybe only I remember, but that's enough.
-
I call it Peeksmanville instead of Trump Place or
Riverside West  -  all that real estate jargon is just
more of the problem. Can't talk; my tongue is tied.
Hold my hands, these cuffs have made them raw.
