Wow, I've never read a poem that captured a city's pulse so well. The sex, the crime, the danger, the insanity of it, and the desire to be there, and the lack of fulfillment, yet somehow it still glows with promise. Like I said before, ....Wow. :)
I am glad you enjoyed this poem for its rawness, I have subsequently edited it, and presented a second upload, but now I have looked it over again and have a third version up and coming.
Ywes sir, and I have done one rewrite of the poem by now and have a third in the works. The themes in this poem are old family tradition and my own life experience in that great, big city by the Lake, but to say them right is no easy chore. This peom is taken from my journal notes, rewritten, then rewritten, etc.
