And where have you been?
so quiet,
so
sincere,
rejection mixed casual
with a feeling of permanence
Where have you been?
so
starving,
so dry,
taunting the helpless crows -
"
clean up this mess!"
So what's it like?
so
experienced,
opportunistic
telephone watching the wall
and
cry-baby cry-cry-cry
Who are those
people?
so excepted,
concrete,
naked indian throw rugs
and well-to-do
mugshots
And couldn't this be a
homecoming?
all cautioned,
cumbersome,
black castle cardboards
and singular names
So what is the meaning
of houseguests,
raincoats,
four letter wristwatches,
and
holidays in the city?
Now, why don't you listen?
so
moonstruck,
(
halfbreed,)
Jerusalem,
Indiana
and other misleading names ...
