i was there, it wasn't

i was there, it wasn't

i missed the 5:32 bus
so i stood
reading a book under the street lamp
leather coat clinging to the post
and shoes in frosted grass
on this warm winter morning
and i thought
like the ships that come in
but meet an iceberg on the way
or the opportunites that knock
while i'm taking a shit
that the bus i missed
just never came.

Hm...I wonder what Freud would say aboutlarge ships hitting ice bergs and not making it to port? All those souls drowning in a big feminine wetness...

It was all abour the rich and emotionally frigid drowning in their unconscious... keeping the poor, their shadows, locked below.
