YUP

YUP

by dan ankers

The shop window showed

it was pregnant with life,

and under its dress

there were babes to be birthed

Shorties get noticed

center stage; their own lives

walk sultry down

city streets

like sweet meats to be

tried

Ands cars and their windows

and some of them nice

parted just slightly

distributing ice

While zombies that walk down

the alleyway backdrop

give off the good vibes

in the vacuums

of their own

minds

And

Some of the time

Everyone’s nice

and some of the time

this world is alright

And some of the time

when the sun is shining

in just the right way

you can hear the world say

“Man, that’s just the fucking way it

is.”
