The Different Ways
I see a black wall, a mirror with different color lights and
an exit door to an other room with speakers hanging from the ceiling
in a bar with black and yellow stripes. I feel heat from the bright lights.
I hear the boat motor rumbling during night and day.
It’s all making me dizzy. There is so much noise on the ship.
I see the sun setting in the west between a new parking lot and the river walk.
In front of the convention center I see buildings and cars, birds and from my height
I see small people and bikes. I see a train going by really fast and loud.
I hear kids and teen agers walking, talking down the hall way.
In the south I see trees with two bridges that look the same and cars going across.
Underneath the Mississippi River goes south which means it goes down stream.
But the water in the Mississippi River is known to go north, south, east, and west.
I see a big, rusty freighter and a tug boat pushing a barge up stream.
I see water towers and barges on the side just laying there, not moving one bit.
Every day I feel that I have no space, that I made too many friends that get in my business.
