You invite them all
into your open arms, the unwashed,
the upper crust, those that search cans
in the night.

You caress then slash, tease
then allow a mount as your door
is unlocked to vagabonds
and voyeurs.

You allow an audience to applaud
or reject your whore stance,
your needle needs, your one bullet
to the brain, end.

Then you drift away, allowing sleep,
or another drink -- you should be jailed
for indecent exposure.

You should be nominated
to the supremist of courts,
looking down on common man,
sentenced to a life of misery
or outright glee.

I spin, never know if it is love
you offer or just plain old,
roulette, a game of chance.

I'll say goodnight
as you walk the streets,
wait for the call that never comes
or floods the switchboard
with 911's, a fender bender
or slaughter on main street.

I love you, Poetry
as well as hate you.

Edward Rochester Esq.

No matter where I go, the place is always called "here".
