TRAVELING

(barnyard of doom)

Like like, like me a late starter on the

Mississippi Delta, I want to wring your

favored hands over the broken sides of

the ruddy pool at the old Warwick Hotel.

1315 Gravier Street still will have to do, and

we'll roll our carnival dice together, me and you.

-

The hunchback shall wear his fragrance and

slime and outside of the jagged window edge

will pierce the nighttime sky with light - a

purloined light which has pilfered night -

the light of morning and morning's light.

Take me to your taskmaster, 

like me a late starter.

-

And there are too many herds

in this barnyard of doom.
