June 7, 1974 7:50 p.m. Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


Coming Home

As often as this, on Friday nights we find
we have to roam,
But when you're full, and life seems short
It's great to be at home.

My thoughts are mingled with my deeds
I have erratic ways
But when my music stops it's play
I find I count my days

The roads are paved, but autos crash
Whatever's illegal, they'll find the stash
You're living on credit, but God wants cash
In your Grandmother's grave,
	there's nothing but ash

While Friday night people cram beer
down their throats
And live a small life - 
I never can be at home only once
That I find I can rest a while
1974
