 By Brian Michael Barbeito Nov. 14, 2005 Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to the endless night. - Jim Morrison. Out on the corner the kids stood against brick walls, with the lithium carbonate blues. Denim pockets, full of pills and shrill thoughts, devoid of summer sun. Out in the streets, the dance of the city continued...white taxi cabs, and white men in suits, and white snow from the urban heaven, and white mixtures of news print, and white pet mice for company, and how does life survive when angel eyed girls don't even dance a bit? Somewhere, someone had a fireplace and a meal. Somehwere, someone sank into cotton blankets, with routine, with a grin, with love, with sanity, with brightness of mind and heart, with hearth and home, with novels and music and plans...grand plans. Suburban crescents, and a crescent moon. Manicured parks, and the Jones' in plaid, and in step. Mean eyed women in business suits. Clean are their cars, hidden are their scars. Who created this disparagy, between the 'good people', and the ones in the cold, with the lithium carbonate blues? Walking in alleys of snow. The soul won't die, and the angels care to know. Its the wintertime of the grey urban rainbow at night, and its the wintertime of the spirit. We die piecemeal...one dream broken at a time, and the dark eyed girls won't dance. They huddle up on the streets. At least in a muggy August once, a man bought all the street walkers icecream, and maybe he was a bad man, or maybe he was a good man, or maybe he was both, but for a moment, six or seven ladies of the night, eating icecream as the summer evening envelops, there was a chance for everyone's happiness in a city so big with promise, on a summer Saturday dark but warm. But yes, angels watch, and sometimes cry. Angels help, and sometimes fly. Angels abound, even and espescially out on the corner, by the forsaken ones, who don't dance, who are hungry for food, and for love, who are full up with the lithium carbonate blues. ------------ About the author: Brian Michael Barbeito lives in Aurora, Ontario, Canada.
