Gnostalgia: Bklyn 'homecoming', 2007, Burying Thy Beloved Dead

a cleansweep creep whist  
dreamstreet happen real, old St.Stella's
funeral day
cackles lowly from gutterhole
& sewerside's slippie slope, it's
plane downhill from 5th to 4th avenues on
olde 23rd street one-way autotraffic still
goin uphill after all these years.....
 
#195--an open gate, same1920s cast'iron...invites me
check out back space of place I lived & played way back
 
Old Maggie's yard untouched 45yrs,house
boarded up...what th'fuck? rust'50s kiddie trike  
in the 2foot grass...even the old tool shed that wee
was told to stay out of(back'round'62]'cause it might collapse,
still standing, covered in lush greenweed vinery (handbuilt by
husband who died in WWII)
 
some poor sick bastard 25someyr old tough guy douses the arcane revery..."who dfuck is back there? get the fuck outta my yard....smoking crack back there you fuckin crackhead" ... I come out to face him... this mofuck is wildeye ragin vein throbbin in neck....I says: "Hey man it's cool...I used to live here in the '60's, just checkin out old homestead...here for my godmother's funeral"
 
rage jumps another degree or two "Fuck you & yr  fckn godmother...you don'live here no more...you just smoking crack with yr yr little girlfriend here(my daughter)...I live here now & I gotta right to beat the bloody shit outta for goin back there you old dopin'fuck!"
 
Aside to daughter..."uh, dear, ymay have to call 911".....
 
"Just get thefuck outta here & don'ever come back, 'cause if ye do i'll fuckin kill ye & yr fckn girlfriend" he screams, retreating, fists clenched, tears in his eyes..........
 
watta way t'start a funereal day, eh?
