so please remember me

"please, remember me
mistakenly
in the window of the tallest tower call
then pass us by
but much too high
to see the empty road at happy hour
leave and resonate
just like the gates
around the holy kingdom
with words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down'
and 'Someone Save Temptation'
and . . .

please, remember me
seldomly
in the car behind the carnival
my hand between your knees
you turn from me
and said 'the trapeze act was wonderful
but never meant to last'
the clown that passed
saw me just come up with anger
when it filled with circus dogs
the parking lot
had an element of danger
so

please, remember me
finally
and all my uphill clawing
my dear
but if i make
the pearly gates
do my best to make a drawing
of God and Lucifer
a boy and girl
an angel kissing on a sinner
a monkey and a man
a marching band
all around the frightened trapeze swingers"
