Just My Imagination

A poem

Just My Imagination

I arrived at the Hotel California in Detroit, Michigan at five after nine
 And shortly after the fact, I stopped and screamed, “Captain! Bring me my wine.”
 But no one pays me any attention because this outburst occurred in my mind

It's an inside joke

Because I don't even drink or smoke
 Who am I? An Eagle flying high and free
 And I thought to myself, “Is there really any other way to be?”

As I resumed my soul stroll, several women gave me the eye
 And licked their lips as if I were vanilla ice cream and a slice of hot apple pie
 But I regarded myself as a seven course meal
 And you would have to if you had been dressed to kill
 But there would be no murders popping off tonight
 Because my good vibes were going to ensure hate and animosity were nowhere in sight
 I asked a man standing near did he feel what I was saying or were his thoughts quadriplegic
 Thinking being standoffish was quite strategic
 This was a celebration
 And all signs were pointing towards outrageously exciting situations
 So, I said, “You're in the wrong place
 Like a man with no legs in a foot race”

Anywho
 The dance floor was jumping like a bounce house
 Cool cats and cute kitties were cutting a rug
 While the street level pharmacist was peddling his array of exotic drugs
 The entire scene
 Was like a vivid dream
 Then I saw a drama queen
 Who made me feel like the lion king
 And then I said, “Let me step to her and do my thing”
 As I approached, she rolled her beautiful hazel eyes
 And my eyes eyed her thick thighs
 Which made my nature slowly rise
 But before I could utter a word, she turned and walked away
 As if she had concluded I had nothing worth hearing to say
 My confidence was dead and gone
 Though I was in a sea of people, I felt oh so all alone
 And as I turned to make my way home
 I heard her say, “I’m not an easy catch
 Oh, you think you’re the shit. Well baby, you've just met your match”
 And I said in a low tone
 “Game on”

Then I turned and started checking her out like emails on my cell phone
 She had been playing hard to get
 A French poodle versus an American pit
 We finally found a peaceful place to sit
 And before the event was said and done
 We walked away hand in hand, ready to live our life on the run

Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge my offering. May all you deserve and desire flow abundantly into your life, as a river does into a sea.

Remember. I’m not here to convince you to believe. I’m here to offer you something else to consider.
