Smell Filthy

Saw Sondheim’s ‘Fruit Juice of the Soul’
actor’s encore dip, tips, left and right and out to women like this, to men like that, the crimes of The Broadway Ripper
odd height couples in their Manhattan towers, I stored myself for a while, then star backed, from walking a three-week cold saunter
‘Where did he walk from?’
That was him, from LA, now fed-up in Western rent, getting sun’s burn, red and white fingers on newspapers, safety deposit dreams and driver’s value on eight track roads
falling crosses, non-Huguenot police chiefs, eyeing in underground time
smell filthy New York gangland death stare

Thanks for the kind enthusiastic comment, much appreciated, who is the 'Robbins' you refer to ?
I pretty much write in the moment, I've tried in past to write in a more traditional narrative style, but it never really hits the spot, not really 'me', and find myself back to this kind of thing, constantly chopping words off and up to feel something.
