16, 375. FRAGMENTS

FRAGMENTS
I dazzled my spaniel with my hipster elan, 
and once, and long ago. Now there are only 
penny candies, penny-antes, and penny-whistles
to go : The Bitter End, the Other End, Cafe Wha, 
and me. Bent and crooked and old and all gone.
-
When I see these places again, in my dreaming,
they are like lost dances from another place and
time. I am climbing to Heaven, in a descending
barrel of hopes and possibilities. (My fragments 
are all broken at the kneecaps).
