Sleep Bum Status

over my years
I've slept in
some random places,
bum style
on sidewalks -
at the Bro Bowl in Tampa,
outside of bars
- in Ybor City, Daytona Beach
in the bed of my own pick-up truck -
the Skatepark of Tampa parking lot,
at the skatepark in Louisville Kentucky,
camp Sleezy at Wekiva Falls in Sanford
in musty old spray painted tents
on porches and balconies
random couches and floors
of friends apartments,
wrapped up in dusty old blankets
sometimes stoned-drunk,
sometimes not
just for the soul need
of sleep

something I've wanted
- to do for a while now,
a tuesday cold oktober night
after norskkurs - language class
sitting in brygga - the small bar
in Son
drinking a beer,
writing poems

a wednesday
third day of oktober
late morning
I stood in the cold
pouring rain
at the bus stop
I looked up, around
the dreary sad gray backdrop
of the sky
great contrast
the colour - autumn leaves
reds, yellows, oranges
colourful, bright
against that depressing gray
remembering to the year before
a weekend - the beginning of oktober
the weather was warmer then
the wife and I were up north - Oppdal
staying in a mountain setter
still the autumn leaves
reds, yellows, oranges
that colourful bright

some (new) old bad habits
some days I run on just
coffee and snus.
