without a gimmick
with neither trend-setting nor trend-following
the show mush go on
as all the curb-sifters on Leavenworth know
on Saturday morning
looking for a small speck of fix
elsewhere on other streets: mull possibilities of New Places to live
either City or Country
also New Job somewhere
finishing the James White Review tribute to Joe Brainard
as more bombs dropped
on Afghanistan
Afghanistan
looks funny
more bad karma: his database crashes
so he downloads porn and wanks off
to keep from becoming too depressed
if
we all come down with anthrax
would be nice at least
to die without
a country
