"Gourmet Alley"

Beneath the morning sky's blue sea,
in dumpster alley land
the mighty man of history
is now the garbage man,
who shoulders-to those big steel bins
to feed his mighty Mack
who munches down a ton of trash
and says, "That's quite a snack!"

Mack plays steel bins like accordians,
snaps concrete lightpoles like toothpicks,
in early morn comes roaring in,
the world's biggest alarm clock
in this bedroom of homeless poor,
while rats scatter like sparks before
Mack's lights and engine's mighty bellows' roar!

Then the gentle and warming light comes in
to wake anyone from one's sin,
that we may share alike - - -
rich or poor, workers and walkers
feeding on family caring and sharing
in this straight and narrow way's
soul-resting and caressing love gourmet :)
