Where o where art thou
walt and allen and hart and
all the other men looking for
meaning in the alleys and crosshairs
through thunderbolt through shotglasses
and finding only the men's room
back behind where the band plays
leaden with drink and work
confused by rules and expectations
when desire is slapped around
a little before being left behind
when the time comes to be a man
entering decision and facade
unveiling the softness of youth
emerges the rock of manhood
Is it today? the time when
we can become the becoming
growing old into wisdom
into humor ruing our wasted youth
chasing the vision of hunter
and thief and addict and lost
adventurer sailing into the unknown.
