I had to do da deed
which was to smoke some weed.
which turned me
into a centipede

men go trippin
over your own feet
as you skippin down
the street

why you tryin to front
some hospitality
when that I can see
are exit signs
saying exit only.

A 1996 copy of The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James.

Found on the sidewalk.
