Sunset in the Neighborhood

Sunset in the Neighborhood

Sunset in the neighborhood.

You take what you can get.

Or, you take what you got.

I live a short block from some busy railroad tracks.
Tiki the Bitch Queen likes to go for extended evening walks along the tracks.
Lots of fresh and new smells I guess.
She can shit where she wants and neither of us give it much thought.

Sunsets are more urban, more industrial, but I grew up that way a long time ago.
I guess back then I was an inner city kid.
Punk kids, I recall being called.
There are some things you’re perpetually used to.
Urban sunsets are one of those.

It’s no longer what I want, what I prefer.
But, you take what you can get.
Or, you take what you got.

  1. urban sunsets. the setting sun has its charms no matter where it happens. nice imagery

    1. I have a chair on the west side of the house, if not out walking the streets I sit and watch the sky change. Wires, roofs, a nearby warehouse… the sky don’t know the difference.

  2. I sense a change, but I agree with Bob. Sunrises and Sunsets are significant. One says you made it another day, the other says you made it another day.

    1. That was kind of the point of that little thing I did on not understanding suicide Howard. I made it another day and I got to see another sunset. The surroundings may not have been ideal, but the sky was wonderful. I can’t imagine intentionally missing them.
