Summertime Is Here
Summertime Is Here Rays, streams of the stuff; Military men, drunk, laying heads on kerbs; A taxi driver dragging a blonde woman from his cab; Old women watching, large hands, rough; The bright sunshine brought madness; Irrational vocabulary within the constabulary; The police force wily in their waiting; Truncheons arranged in badness; The heat got to the street and opened be’el’s music box; Eyes show more than eyes, screams, cries; A led pellet, just as the crow flies, Into a loud mouth and shatters with agony molar rocks; Summertime is here holding sternly a sharpened hatchet; Gun shots zoom across the thin blue sky; A child falls and grazes his scabbed knees; An insane man on the telephone, keeps asking for Nurse Ratched, While I drink beer and relax.

I'm into poetry that flows through me, more as an emotional art-form than a traditional construction, but I do appreciate most of it.
