Cadillac on The Bowery

Cadillac on The Bowery

Metallic green rust bucket

Parked on cobbelstone street

Darker green cracked vinyl top

A relic from the 7O's when big wheels ruled these city streets

Now so lonely parked next to bouwerie lane theatre

They shortened the name to Bowery like they cut the size of Cadillacs in half

Car and old theatre soon. Will be gone

One recycled into metal scrap the other to condo or trendy shops

Once upon a time driving a big ole Caddy. Blazed a story driven by

and The Bowery chewed one up and spit it out right onto the cracked

and dirty sidewalk .



This is a poem feature in my book with the same title as the poem published in 2008 .

My baby's gone...gone like a '59 Cadillac...all the good things they ain't never coming back.
Gone like a freight train, gone like yesterday, gone like a soldier in the Civil War...bang, bang...my baby's gone...she ain't never coming back.
