Confusion Clears the Street (poem)
Was early in the evening when a sound
Began to end from somewhere near the ground
Got up and down the stairs to where I found
To lighten darkness and this rhyme compound
-
Outside the entrance my well rounded flat
A wealth of beggars very calmly sat
Their tailored taters they began to pat
I cleanly knew old dirt now at my mat
-
Leave out of here don’t start the end with police
They clearly saw confusion upset peace
Their time had come to go for old release
I stopped to start my heart’s unsettled ease
-
An early late young neighbor starts to shout
Soon others wanted in to help them out
Here done I drift away toward my own rout
And try to settle some if not all doubt
