of thievery
2 Sep¶
i shall wear my pauper’s cap and tap my dirty drum,
my dirty tambourine on the street corners of the world
that shall admit me or maybe not; that i cast no shadow
with my existence has been long my core dream
¶

like a holiday package and very peculiar with its giant
red bow dyed with carcinogens
¶
my isotonic fortitude thus will be sorely tested
¶
[you are alien; i am alien myself; we must instigate much alienness
for our hoped-to-be materially better life]
¶
it could have been otherwise, i am relieved to tell myself,
it could have been otherwise.
¶
but it could have been otherwise, and my friend that is all i need
to lament
