11:30PM:
These lovers
dance in
clammy bus station
terminals
observing my intrusive
stares
They smirk and
wink
kiss
hold hands
watch my reaction
rolling eyes
sometimes
smiles
hunched and whispering
they allude to boasting thrills.

Poem By Enrique McCartney
Written March, 1996
Today I remember London; the statues, the parks, the swans, the books and the shopping. The Sunday afternoon bus rides to Euston Bus Station and back to Hackney on Bus #30. I’m slowly beginning to realize it is not the reputation that I build but the relationships that I embrace. So enjoy every moment that you are given.

Near Balconies:
Sitting here
Hours
A
Time
Writing of
Springtime flowers
Knowing nothing
But
Enclosures
(Dusky memories)
Remember times when
Smiles had more meaning
curtains
Had creases
Since then
Drapes are dusky
Knew a time when I
Envisioned a slightly different
Perspective at this point
Thought leaves would fly
Up to trees
Smoke would shoot up to stars
Chimneys would suffocate with
Sweet gingerbread
This couch would be
Swinging with shades of blue
Not beige. Plaid not
Plain
Knee deep in candy cane
Carpets
Plush
Dreaming of sunshine
Skipping children on the sand
Shores engulfed seagulls
Now
Springtime is present and brief
Through
Glass doors near balconies I see
Feel apathy
Following me
If only
Buds
Yellow/black bees
Brown soil daisies
Could make me
Again
Dream
Soar to sky
Skip to sea
With thoughts
Of
Peppermint oceans
Springtime wintergreen
Knitted
Purple
Rainbows wrapped around
Angels
Singing
On
Palm
Trees …
Tranquil
