What
Is Going On Out There?
You remember him then
the second from the left
growing out of black stockings rubber
banded under knickers
the quarterback played one on one
before he was double platooned somewhere
between the second and fourth war
dancing to the tune of a crystal set
he jumped feet first
from a Wall Street window
into the foxholes and bunkers
of
You should see him now
portly one in the fourth row
hair touched up to control the gray
running to fat around the middle
he lusts after food
the third sex
and from his bastion tower
he can survey
no man's land of the shopping mall
creatures of the third world
doomed to wander in the night
breathe heavily
outside his castle gates
