 / FRAGMENT {1 of 12} -- by BOKE
{TPF_9_01} I STILL MISS GREENWICH VILLAGE, but the work {TPF_9_02} that made that cobble-stoned street home took life {TPF_9_03} I had more uses for -- Each time I'd jerk {TPF_9_04} out to the airport Sundays -- like a wife . . .
{TPF_9_06} But freedom of the city must be bought ... {TPF_9_07} unless a richer grandpa was your fate ... {TPF_9_08} or some kind-foolish rich-gal can be caught . . .
{TPF_9_10} If these lines seem conflicted, say AMEN. {TPF_9_11} The pull of compromise makes artists whirl {TPF_9_12} in silly little circles -- Just say when . . .
{TPF_9_14} Another crop of artists grew today. |
