As a child
I would roam
around
Roaming around consisted of freedom
An essence of pleasure
I roamed around the streets
the creeks and gullies
the back blocks
through unfinished houses
through suburbia
through time and space
through mind and body
through disinhibition
through freedom of expression
through permission

A slice of dying America
Immortalized in poems
by Bishop
paintings by Hopper
And the memories of
Millions of Americans
The allure of gas stations
Grease pits
Oil stands
Bowsers
Grease monkeys
Driveways
Tools and tool draws
Parts and carburetors

And the machinery of movement
Gone the Golden Fleece
Of my childhood
ESSO CALTEX MOBIL
BP SHELL LIBERTY
Dead and dying
Like the generations
Basking in the dreams of
nevermore
