Thru and Through
…the awakened man is banished
from the realm of certitude;
he is, as Melville says, a sensibility
that suffers, he is what the Mississippi
is carrying, what is born by the river:
poetry itself.
Welcome to the Drive Thru
the lost and sensual o, g, h.
The city-scape devoid
Of the luxury of ornament.
The concentration camp corrals.
The wrapped burgers
and warped money
machines and the very
efficient state
uses lethal injections
of speed and permanently
sealed windows.
