Way Back Guest : Michelle Wind
Hey Hipsters and Cool Cats! We have another piece of poetry from our Way Back friend, Michelle Wind.
Today she presents a piece entitled
“Cisco Man.”

So I met this guy today
Walking down the road,
“Help me, can you?” he said.
They call me Cisco, man.
“Just got released from Veteran’s Hospital and lost my way.
“Got pins in my leg, that’s why I walk with a cane”
“Agent Orange got me bad, back in Nam, and
the government owes me over a million”.
“When we got back from Vietnam the American people
turned their backs on us”.
“Can’t go to the Memorial Wall it would kill me”.
“When I came home I was addicted to drugs, and
2 men tried to rape my girl, I shot them both dead”.
“Did prison time, but it wasn’t my fault, by the way
did I tell you my name is “Cisco”, man.
(I called the Vets home in Yaphank, and they came and picked Cisco up)
