——

sitting outside the Central Market in Poulsbo, Wa

if I called the poison center would they send help ?

angels whispered, “shake it off”

senior citizens sipping coffee

“Aqualung” playing in the background

just a pinch and reality kicks in

a poster of Allen Ginsberg naked

on the back wall

no one seems to notice

the size of a greyhound bus

with bad body hair

the Beat Babylon Poet

if only he had sodomized Robert Frost

sodomized him without an anesthetic
