Poem Artwork

Went 2 the Y....
Went 2 the Y2 Work Out

Went 2 the Y2 Stretch
Went 2 the Y2 Stretch Out

Crazy Man Walkin'
Crazy Man Walkin' at the Y

Crazy Man Walkin' the wrong way

. . .at the Y

Crazy Man Walkin' with no walkin' shoes
Crazy Man Walkin' the wrong way on the wrong day
 

. . .at the Y. . .

Crazy Man Walkin' with a towel on his head,
like it was Hillary Duff hair or somethin'
huffin' puffin' walkin' the wrong way
in wrinkled khaki pants
and a black pull over hoodie with
no hood...in the hood...

. . .at the Y. . .

Crazy Man starin' at me stretchin'
while I'm gettin' ready to work out

on the track. . .

at the Y. . .

I start walkin'
passin' the Crazy Man...

He's gotta be crazy...
with a towel hangin' over his white bald head...
walkin' 'round the track the wrong way...

starin' at me....

(you know the next line)

at the Y. . .

2 More people walk in...

Young black woman with a half-cock'd wig
Old White Man with bad hearin'

at the Y. . .

They walk the wrong way too!

And I keep walkin' the opposite way...
I'm right...I think

but I'm almost thru my walk-out
and I'm feelin' GOOD....amongst all these crazy people
who can't tell it's....whoops!

I see the sign....it says joggers...
and it points 2the left

Black woman with half-cock'd wig
Old White Man with bad hearin'
...and yep, Crazy Man with no walkin' shoes...

must not know I'm from the Bahamas....

What a great poem! I could picture being at the Y watching the whole scenario. And my face was really smiling!

Peace,
