April on Sunset
by Jack Bowman

Street life pulses
avant-garde hookers and Johns
would-be movie stars and those
who've been given the ride

money flows into wide one-way pockets
sly smiles, hungry for more
even yellow lines in the street
have stories
a feeling of what is going on
pulse of make believe
scars on faces, on sidewalks,
etched in shadowy corners of brick

an everyman walks,
his dreams wide,
even whispers to himself in sleep

"never let go."
