Our Way
by
Charles Rossiter
Outside
the American dream
we
haunt highways and streetcorners
through
dirty blues and doo wop days
barrooms
and coffeehouse nights
we
search for friends, for truth, for love
on
feather beds and oriental rugs
in
dim cafes
barefoot
on burning sand
we
raise a glass
to
electric skies gone crimson
we
honor the days, the times
the
ways of ancestors long gone
who made us who we are
who we are
