whimper
damn you, you beat poets
for reminding me where I have
not been;
damn you in San Francisco
damn you in New York
damn you in Denver
Paris; Mexico City;
I stand at my river
in my city
leaning forward
and releasing
not a throaty howl,
but a wispy whimper
because it's the best
thing achievable here;
damn your sartoris
and your delusions
your zen lunacies
damn you
in your west
damn you
in your eastern
thoughts.
I am but a daisy
that looks like a rifle
but you were rifles
that looked like daisies.
damn you
damn you
damn you
