Last Day (A Cento)
One after 9:09 pm
New Years Eve
1995.
Turn me on dead man
ghost man...
rocket man
confused Shaman.
On this night
of the living Jesus.
Burning all the strings
to Heaven song
It will be be
a long long time.
Living in my tin can
cast off from the world...
thanks
Here's looking at you kid
I remember breakfast
city Tiffany.
She tried to
sweeten my night.
But that can't be
she could never break.
This heart of darkness
on a lonesome safari.
-Will Dockery (12-27-17)
