you close your eyes as the ice melts in your crown & 7

the saxophone wails
like the sad song of sunday

morning rain that can’t
wash away the night before

or the night before that
it is the background music

that plays when you sleep
alone.

bio

In another life Scot Young used to be a construction worker but for the last 19 years he has been paid to hang out with kids. He started writing poems again after a 30 year absence and has published one or two. He may be the only school principal in America to have all of Christopher Robin's books and he occasionally teaches a poetry class to the Breakfast Club. He once sang with Kenny Loggins and wrestler Dirty Dick Murdoch, but mainly he just puts bread on the table.
