4735. BATTERY 22

BATTERY 22
Keep things down, marking presence by silence.
There are men on 22, smoking outside their loading dock.
It is already as if their eyes are dead,even though they talk.
Ostentatious behavior  -  for them  -  seems just winking at 
booty, or whatever they say. They call it ass. They call it
Mama. Again with the all-disguised oaths and groans.
-
UPS trucks with slots on their sides for overnight drops.
Gold-trimmed little mailboxes built into trucks.
'It's really a wonderful world for men.'
