my el cajon boulevard
felt through eyes blood shot
and thoughts
forgotten
distorted
by proof
never too great
skip the warning labels
natures light long gone
nothing
shiny or neat
about this hour
my favorite
more than a street
forgiveness
that my line
not always straight
a walk along used sidewalks
way past everyone's bed time
random shadows
dart around
real
never introduced
black and whites
tucked out of sight
only me and them know
where
no crowds
or cowards to share my path
bartenders already home
even though my stride
is flat footed
the boulevard
knows i am among the last
just passing through
both needing this time to heal
no care to look up
for even one star
rudfords
always there
nearing the end of my trek
a diner not so far
coffee and pie
and a friendly waitress
is all i desire
