THE HIDDEN TRACK

The following passages are dedicated to Leopold, to the vernacular, to certain evil women (you know who you are), to certain wonderful people(they know who they are), to soft afternoons and quiet Sunday evenings, to Fall and seeing your breath for the first time since Spring, and to Isabelle Ya Feng ... a soul slipped by like two ships passing in the still, moonlit sea.
-- Abraham Ahmed, the Surfing Beatnik



The Falling Sky Above...


Dishes clinking within earshot away
while the masses longingly stared
at a dim lit table where two people swayed
to the depths of the words that they shared.


"The sky is falling!" Said the man with gun.
But the two sat, failing to move.
Neither one turning to flee or to run
But choosing to stay in their booth.


With plates clean and pitchers all poured,
He reached out his hand to hers
With eyes on eyes they walked off towards
tomorrow in each others worlds.
