Soul Train Saturdays

Soul Train Saturdays

THEN
Afternoon to
early evening
almost any
Saturday, I
preteen, teen &
before 16
anticipate
a freedom to
alleviate […]

Saturday night
Feelin’ all right

THEY
Getting down to
weekend business
busy parentage
got into dress with
intent / relent
insist upon
freedom of need  
if only for
three-to-six hours

Saturday night
Feelin’ all right


ME
Home all alone
house quiet except     
music and dance—
TV lined up
like food and drink
kid liberties
inferred upon
departure made
freedom of need

To be fallen
may be to be
of a different
place: not disgrace
unless fallen
for constructions
intended to
diminish a  
sheer survival.
