Things I can be thankful for: public transportation
in the middle of the night.   Who could forget the war
with its bright floods and its blue geraniums?

I don’t like pain.   Or maybe not.
I do like some pain.
Um ... okay.

John Wieners on the bus whispering hello and
“Nothing keeps it together.”

“I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be.
And finally, I became that person.
Or he became me.”
