Quarter
French Kiss
{
New Orleans
,
Louisiana
}
The
world
ends where the
road ends
,
stark
darkness
stretches over the
world
that does exist
the
swamp
s of
Louisiana
aren't real.
I've lived in
New Orleans
all my life and have
never seen
them.
Reflectors
stretch out into
infinity
as I drive over this
bridge
that goes just as far
until I reach my
final destination
, a point in the
Quarter
called home,
home
to:
half-drunk
housewives
who use
alcohol
as an excuse for
infidelity
,
those
vampire
s whose sucking doesn't involve
blood
bead
cartels and
minor
prostitution
which is the only way I can have
sex
anyway
walls topped with
broken glass
which is the only thing that
clearly states its intentions
Down
Bourbon
, down
Market Street
, I visit an
A&P
purchase
Pepsi
and a
Coke
.
Walking down
Bourbon Street
, a string of
purple
bead
s
smack
my
face
fall over the
Coke
, now mixed with an equal part
rum
Little girls
:
dance
on the
street
in front of a
barred window
,
which tells the
truth
of this town,
which obscures the
small screen
,
dream of
California
Flash
boob
s
flash bulbs
go pop because they must,
and people take home
Kodak moment
s of excitement.
I give a five to a
silver human statue
and I can't afford to give the tap-kid anything
And still I walk, and find the
house
with the corn-patterned
fence
,
another
beggar
asks me,
tells me of his sad life;
I give him my
Pepsi
and finish the
Coke
,
I look in the
café
across the
way
where the
rich people
eat
encased in glass, bars, like a
zoo
,
I
cross the street
,
beggar in tow
,
I knock on the window,
hold out my
hand
,
and I don't know if I'm
feeding the animals
or
begging for change
.

First kiss
Even though I sleep terribly with another body in the bed
