Jed was a poor man.
He smoked the canned
tobacco.
He rolled leaves of maple
and ate succulents and
root-barbs.
His visage was clean
and he never shook.
Life's mysteries are often
looks and never what
is buried from time to
time.

We spoke of Genghis Khan
and your friend
over cups of tea
and summer heat
The cool breeze
unwrapped
your cheap, flowery dress
spilling lust on the
streets of New York City
Lips, turgid with unspoken
secrets
caressed tetracycline
teeth
as you smiled
and refused the flowers
I almost bought on
Houston Street

Brush of her body on mine
My arm around her

Moving together
In time to the slow rhythm
A controlled passion

On the very edge

Hands up all those who
Think it was a huge mistake
To invade Iraq?

Who called me names three years ago?

Countrymen may? Think?
