Comment:

Hot Night by Charles Simic

Longhaired Jesus
Arms outstretched,
Reeling,
In an open yellow convertible
As he flies down
Santa Monica Boulevard

Magdalene driving with shades on.
Tires screaming.
A dwarf with a monkey
Stepped out of a cab.
White hotels, green taffic lights,
Palm trees swaying darkly.

That and nothing else.
Been here and gone.
The palm trees converging
And parting up ahead.

From the book "Walking The Black Cat"

This mix was made after reading this poem over and over for some reason or another, other than the fact it was assigned for my class (the whole book was).
