alleyway
Do you want to know why I do it?
Its a reason that I didn’t
even know I was looking for till
long after I had found it
its the time im out back of the hotel with tracy
and her cousin having a smoke
the cops asking if we’d seen anything
suspicious
or the time winter told me about some
of the best advice I’ve ever heard right after
a meetup somewhere out in west Texas
when I talked shop with brittany till the sun went down
over that cozy masion on the west side
its the back alleys of the world
and their stories told
down old side streets
and up and down main
we talked about cats like bouroughs and
bear, we laughed and said goodbye
still think about her
still walking and talking
and meeting and leaving
moving on
I didn’t know what I was looking for at the time
but I found it all the same
