Ghosts
FUJIFILM X100S (23mm, f/2.5, 1/90 sec, ISO1600)
A cab combs the snake,
Tryin’ to rake in that last night’s fare,
And a solitary sailor
Who spends the facts of his life like small change on strangers…
Paws his inside P-coat pocket for a welcome twenty-five cents,
And the last bent butt from a package of Kents,
As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes
And marmalade thighs with scrambled yellow hair.
Tom Waits: The Ghosts of Saturday Night.
