Orpholese awaited his ship at the edge of Rikers Island a maximum security penitentiary
he remembered his neighborhood in which he grew he remembered the girl next door he knew
He remembered her mother, their family, and the ways in which they were different
divergently magical--not corresponding and boring, he always thought them to perfect
he thought of her as a prude, she thought of his cousin as crass, different families
living out different destinies and realities far away, but existing in that street
they were the same, the same vein, the same air, they even shared the same lawn
But between mother and daughter they shared a bond that was far gone and far beyond
The bond he knew with his mom, for with his mom there was no bond, and in his house
there was not calm, the only calm was behind locked doors and underneath beds
but in her he saw a calm and confidence with her and her mom that made him long
to be a part of it, she asked if he could come over for lunch, for a snack, for a movie
Like Pip and Estella they played a child hood, her mom would come to drop her off
with sunglasses on, the daughter resembled her and the mother said to "take good care"
and there was something about the hair, for hours they would spend, before he could begin
to go out to play waiting for her mother to finish her hair, because who knew her hair
better than her mom, they shared the same hair, and who would care more than her mom
if the hair was rightly parted who would be more proud, but he would admire
and he would appreciate, and it was as if in that he shared, a part of their world
on that day they would play like Pip and Estella.
Must have been Molly (bio mother and not Miss Havisham) because the two were a perfect pair
and she told me that I would soon hopefully see something special in Estella
the same way I'd suggested to have seen something in the others
And surely I did, surely I saw, and it wasn't before long, in fact
it's possible I saw from the start and knew I was lucky to have
her treasury, her daughter, seemed impossible that they would bother with me

Standing at the edge of Rikers island pen, he started contemplating all and everything again
Wondering if a woman would ever want him again and would he ever again touch her skin
Wondering if time had passed him by and if he hadn't caught his ship when his ship came in
Orphalese closed his eyes and prayed in the silences of his soul
He missed them, he missed the women.  He hadn't seen them in 12 long years
For 12 long years he had been locked up, and hadn't seen the sun
He knew beyond the distance of the edges of the island
they frolicked and played, in a way more civilized than the savage beasts he'd become
He thought of a girl that was perfection.  He thought,
"Well her clothes will be neat, well her hair will be washed.  She will look cared for
and not like the ragged and stray dogs that lived in the jungle of concrete slab
He thought about what it would be if he, could try to succeed and see
a woman more beautiful than the fiery waves of the sun
that hung at the time of noon.  Noon was usually when he
would be forced into a sour intercourse of words with those men
Those men whose edges were rough and lacked all sophistication
He dreamt of seeing himself on the outside of those walls once again
When one would come and ask questions of him
Like back when he was in need, back when he was in demand
Now he was just a man wrotting away on edge of an island
he stared at his two hands, "I thought they were good strong hands"
and then he knew that he can, do it again, if the would only let him begin
He thought of all the things he would do to dazzle a woman
and leave her dizzy like a magician he knew he could do it again
within him was the charms, but he saw across the see many
women in weaker arms and with weaker men and he started to dream again
He thought how he would lift them up high.  He looked at the grass around him
and saw a few sunflowers that grew, he felt for the softest and lifted it up and blew
he clapped and angels clamored and he remembered that he
would lift up if given a chance, and he was madly in love with any woman
he'd ever had the chance to encounter, it would be right
it would be different the next time.  He would rhyme and recite poetry
to every flower he'd see, have a riddle and puzzle and never get stung by the bee
he'd dwell in that place they call harmony that he'd found many years before
when surrounded by women he radiated their core, it emanated from the hair that they wore
it found its way to his chest and his hand, and he ran his fingers through it
like fine grains in the sand, and it's energy and life was upliftment for the soul

He passed in the streets and walked in the shop and talked to them
The lady she paused and only acknowledged the lady alongside
two sides presented themselves simultaneously so he could say
my ego is not satisfied for I've been without attention in the state pen
and a life amongst many men so its my devine right now to see how
the light reflects just right upon their skin, to see how they mingle
between them and how they make and choose friends, the girl on the right
was the right fit because she complemented her bag with her watch
with her hair long and hers short and one outgoing and one within
and together they bring out all the qualities of complete and total perfection
but there was another path he could of taken one of jealousy one of ego
but he just saw too much protection to complain that they were not giving
full attention to him so he gazed again and again and just remembered when
he was a boy and the girl that he loved didn't love him, but her best friend Allison
served as the vizier and reported and imparted all the words of the queen
but was she secretly jealous or a true friend, sure she adored and admired
the beauty of her queen, and so he was seeing all of this in the shop
as he watched and soon he spoke and told and joke, and the #2 laughed
and it was like as if he was back within his own past revisited again
Sitting silently at the state pen, at the edge of the island in isolation looking for a friend
he'd spent all this time amongst aggresive men wondering if he'd ever see a woman again
