Monday Musings - David Bowie and All That

The David Bowie mural shines brightest in the

blackest stardust.

In 2016, everyone had an Election Day playlist.

What was yours?

A wise woman once said, “you’ve always been crazy,

this is just the first chance you’ve had

to express yourself.”

Those Dems. Those Dems. Since ’92:

All blue, New Jersey. All you.

But am I the only one who heard gunshots in

The Heights the other night?

Dixon Mills sunrise –– its beams bleed into my lost

lover’s eyes, all tapioca with white lies…

…And a solitary laundromat that stays open later

than one might ever expect.

Every Monday, GJC will be sharing a poem from John T. Trigonis, a local JC Heights resident, poet, writer, and coffee aficionado, in our Monday Musings.
