Dark streets on the edge of the industrial zone ...
Connecting but not locked in
A loner moves in between the lines
It takes courage to live outside the box
Comforted though by bits of human engagement
Dylan said it best
"To live outside the law you must be honest"
Somehow those words ring true for this cowboy
Dark streets on the edge of the industrial zone
A lone light leading to the halal cart
Chicken over rice in a whirlwind of scent
Maybe it's the spices and just enough conversation
Or just maybe, it's something else .....
A loner moves in between the lines
It takes courage to live outside the box

Somehow those words ring true for this cowboy
Dark streets on the edge of the industrial zone
A lone light leading to the halal cart
Chicken over rice in a whirlwind of scent
Maybe it's the spices and just enough conversation
Or just maybe, it's something else .....

Where the fuck have you been hiding this?!
This is beautiful. The quiet undertones and the vignettes with a Dylan soundtrack create a rain-city-street, an urban blaze of glory that really resonates.
The food cart… the way you used sight and smell to articulate loneliness was lovely.
Big like.

I've posted close to 2000 poems under the Poetspeak brand. Some bear repeating...
This was a favorite but I couldn't remember the title. Found it this morning while looking for something else...
Thanks Betty !

I'm a road salesman. I find myself in strange deserted locations sometimes with nothing but a factory and a Halal cart close by. Gotta be mighty grateful for that cart. The dude knows me and knows I like a piece of grilled pita on the side. No charge. That's a story that needed to be written.
Thanks Bat !

Dear PS,
This is like the scene in a movie where the camera pulls up and the main character is the only focus amidst the crowded street to capture a realization. So glad you found this to repost and shed the light. Happy New Year mayor cowboy 😊🤠🏆

Drawn from truth
These carts thrive in dark corners of the working class.
Damn good plate of food for not a lot of green.
When you need sustenance, a smile and a little recognition this is where I slide into line..
Many thanks for tye read and RL Cipher.
You are appreciated.
