ripples of rain drops on the street, a paper boat of past and future set by a child called lifetime
concocted stories, flashing headlights, silent smiles, cocaine lines
spray painted walls with words and pictures that contain frustration and hope
amalgamation of promises, betrayal, stains of alcohol and dope
rusted wheels of a red bicycle that used to travel the world
small feet, small peddles, big dreams, bigger balls, town pride
a speech heard from a father on a city at the sea shore
revisited waters, war cry for change, thunderous applause, ignited fire
early morning runs and hitting the punching bag with force
sweet sweat, sweeter progress, hunger, power, roar, desire
passion beyond measure, a mindset beyond description
family, love, laughter, money, guns, friends, followers, noise, power
a wooden table set for 5, with a dog playing around an oak tree
an espresso cup, a hug, a laughter, a tear, white hair, vision clear.
clean the stage now, pull the curtain down, he is ready now
to walk away and stop watching the child on the street with the paper boat
