When Ties Grow

When ties grow

How do you continue

Not let go

Of the ones you know

Love and hold near

Ties give up

Some go away

When ties grow

Please don’t stay away

Capitol Strain

The capitol strain

Came

On an unexpected

Wednesday

Don’t reap what you can’t

Sow

Sage advice says

How the world looks

Different

When the joker has

No more jokes

When the laughs go old

The capitol strain

Has its hold

Air Antiquity

The music drones

Late into the night

After hours

As the sunset

Slips out

Of sight

The air is dim

And full

Rosins from the bull

Pushing the city

As the air antiquity

Rumbles from below

The city vents

All on my own

Taking Meeting

Taking meetings

Super fleeting

What composed

Will go unnoticed

What potential will be

Forgone

Taking meetings

All day long

Dope Jacket

Man that is a dope jacket

As the man at the counter

Reveals

Late night appeal

I wish you a good night

And a great night rest

Dope jacket he said

With a slight jest

One Folly

Feeling alright

With a bottle of whiskey

And some cheap pizza

Walking around

Quickly

Walking a curved line

To the rooms

Late into the night

Laughter and jolly

As the night goes on

One mistake

One folly

Back Night

Back night

Feeling good

Late night Italian stands

Listening to some

Standards

Stranded in the back

Late night in the rooms

Red and white

Subtle and sweet
