3731. TRAVELING (barnyard of doom)

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.
