No Loitering
Perhaps
it was forgotten
you once were free.
Calloused
by false hopes
and dreams.
And now set
by that glue
to planet Earth routine.
No longer to give notice
to the signs that read:
"No Loitering"
( City Ordinance Title 03.6732 Sec. C ).
Recession Blues.
Languishing 401K.
Home values upside down.
Credit lines slashed and
tight money flows-
Laid off
from company downsizing
to find you are too educated
for the job market,
or considered by others
too "old"
And foreclosure looms.
Space is for RENT
and for SALE.
But now you're a begger
and have no means.
Better change gears.
Or direction.
Better still,
dump that old set of wheels
you've been carting around in
you call the body.
Hop out and snatch up
a tall, sturdy ladder.
Climb to the tip top
of your favorite tree
and read this sign:
"Loitering Welcome.
Muse Away the Day."
