4959. AS I FOLDED THE PAPER THE PAPER WAS GONE

AS I FOLDED THE PAPER 
THE PAPER WAS GONE
Joe Mitchell, Up the Old Hotel, and ah!
what a grand life this is. I for sure want to
live to tell about it. Every hanging I attend
I make sure to disrupt. People aren't funny,
but they're always corrupt.
-
Now the razor-wire scorches the Mexican 
coat-rack: fifteen bodies found dead in a 
truck  - heat and exhaustion, in this 
strange math, equal death.
-
Once this was a lively place; now it's
just another New York. People aren't
funny, but they always talk.
