American Dreamer
years later
he would see her again
on the Broadway stage
and he would remember
that they once kissed
on the fire escape of
a loft party
so that is what became of her
after the show he walked
through Times Square
and he felt the false
hope of the bright lights
headed home
to his dump in the
East Village
pulled out his couch bed
and had himself
an American dream
and that is what became of him
