Your momma’s porch on North Ave was always my favorite

We would leave our ego’s at the door

muddy shoes.

Puffing joints twisted with conviction

hissing tranquility .

Our tongues dripping with authenticity and fear

we’d spit.

Casting our iron stomachs from scratch

cheap liquor.

Stumbling upon the true depths of the optic-nerve

the soul.

miss it.

I spasmodically catch myself drifting back up there

nobody’s home.

It’s been quite some time since you lived there

still, I visit.

Sometimes if I’m lucky I’ll still catch our vibes

floating around.

It won’t ever compare to the real thing

we shared,

times have changed but I’ll make do.
