may i enjoy

may i enjoy the sunrise

now that i moved

to other side of insanity

left the bullshit

behind in other borough

no longer question

i am thorough

compared to what

no need to be

steaming on the corner

with some young hoppers

to be considered real

already seen

the crooked deal

we give to ourselves

shaky shuffle

too many cuts to the deck

went earlier than the priest to church

up before streetlights go out

what have the past 31 years been about

you still find yourself

returning to where the journey began

trying to retrace those steps

you was the only one left behind

still asking

where did all the fun go so quickly?

that coffee and cigarette

won't make you awake faster

have you spent that time judiciously

every moment was effective

still knocking at the door

who will let you in?

can't recapture innocence especially

when you handed sin

right outside Yankee stadium

after decisive blowout

scheduled for rain yet to see a drop

all these memories

keep flowing non stop

precise effort and responsibility

dedication determination belief

faith dreaming big execution

what type of follow through does it take

to be on top

now that you have plotted the plan

please connect the dots
