No Whores in Doorways Poem

No Whores in Doorways Poem

I have no whores

no cigarrette butts

no subway graffitti

no gutsy New York or
Chicago poem

no Buk

no pound of flesh

no whores in doorways

no nights spent scratching my stubble while
streets are lined with derelict lives.

no dirty plates

just
the quiet of solitude

the purpose of
doing nothing
on purpose

no whores in doorways
no grit

just a cat
asleep

and that dear

is enough
