trolleys of downtown Memphis
belly full of gourmet grilled cheese
belly full of mai tai’s & whiskey shots
half moon shine of freedom
white horses & carriage trotting by
high rises with dollar signs
chilly air feels good in lungs
& attending a small mass
peace be with you
shaking hands. devout Catholics.
eating the body of Christ
paranoid thoughts
as the priests eyes & mine meet
that he see’s right through me
& all my sins
my headache is gone
& happy rich tourists
can walk freely down Memphis streets
speaking in british accents
still
wants to sell you the devil
or a dark jail cell
with a white jump suit
from fourth floor hotel room
& they gave me room 420
ironic hands of fate
in deep accent….
no worry,
all these judges & lawyers want is money,
they are the criminals
you wont go to jail my friend
you need job now?
me give you job driving cab
in Memphis
1000 dollars a week or more
work 7 hours a day
my name is Sam
here is my number
you call for job
after court my new friend.”
he tells me, as we cross the bridge
into west Memphis Arkansas
