Street Love
“I am excited Yes, and afraid to be in her presence In the faraway next room there are sounds “Melissa’s watching some kiddie program,”
Junice says. “I bribed her to waste her mind.”
We are dancers, she with bare feet And dangling bracelets, the native child Burned by the copper sun I am the explorer Discovering that there are two Sides to the ocean “Damien, what are you thinking?” she asked.
“I am thinking that I am not thinking.
What are you thinking?”

“Is that good or bad?” I asked.
