Theme from Shaft

I am daylight’s best

kept secret,

my professional

masks,

as the city crosses

around me;

and crash as to

don me my

leather jack

and recyclable

notepads.

This is the 100 Songs Project, a 100-day writing challenge based on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Songs. Every day, I write a short poem, prose piece, or play based on, reacting to, rejecting, accepting, or doing something related to one of the songs in the top 100 list.
