Atlantic City, NJ, Dec., 1971
Millions of islands,
shouting and screaming
in the ocean of silence.
You don’t see them;
maybe you are noisy.

I felt love,
I felt brotherhood;
the day was gone, they were gone.

It’s a pet; yeah.
It’s my friend,
we feel for each other.
I am not trying to put you down,
but he really makes me happy.

She is a girl, I am a boy,
or a man if you get kind.
We are two people,
but we know we are one.

We build skyscrapers
trying to reach the sky
shouting loud to be heard,
stuffing mirrors and lagoons
with jewels and colored paper,
and we swear that
the wire that we walk on,
has its life forever;
and then, if we realize.

Try and you will make it.
Your ancestors did it,
so, you too.
You got to be on top,
remember where you are from.

My mother told me,
that someday ago I was a baby,
and everybody liked me.
Atlantic City, NJ, Dec., 1971
Lonely walking the streets,
the crowd all around.
Something money didn’t buy;
it felt unreal.
