     America, you boil over
                    —John Wieners

Two and a half
years now in my
sweltering coffin
of a hotbox (of
note: it’s been
an unseasonably
cool year thus far—
   )   the difference
between outside
and inside is strong.
I’m not sure what
I’m doing here. I’m
not sure of anything
but declaring my love.
It’s no mystery, really.
A psychedelic interlude
might deepen or enhance
it. But not everyone can
afford such luxuries as
psychedelic interludes.
Not I, sealed up as a
hermit in Hotbox #424,
sending all of my love
through the walls and
the one little window.  
It roves across the 
land and flies over 
the broad seas 
along side its RSVP.
