rappin' with anancy

talked to josef the other night
first time in months
he's busy being a daddy for the second time
and becoming a homeowner (trying to keep the lights on).

miss buying coffee from him
and spending two hours shooting the shit
back when he used to work downtown
and i used to go pay my child support.

talkin' about how he wants to start a new thing
(maybe open mic poetry in his 'hood -- an idea with merit)
and how the scene's about to change
(we really losing the wreck in two yrs? jayzus.

i just hope they stay open long enough
to have their tenth anniversary
and for me to have my 50th birthday party there
that'll be june 28th, 2007.)

things always change -- waiting for the next one,
whether it's the speakeasy, or the metrognome
or spending more time digging in my garden.
i'm gonna miss my living room, tho.
