OF THE CAROUSEL BROTHERS
There are many lesions in the land of the hurt,
broken hearts and broken arms together. The
fireman is a chief who claims he's had it coming
all his life; like a fire hose that never stops sputtering.
He goes to sleep in flames and wakes up doused in water.

His brother is a Freddie named Aleck B. Goode. One
who lifts the lid on every sewer-grate he passes. Together
they lived in Maine and Duluth, Portsmouth and New Bedford,
places like that come together in full assembly.

I'm enflamed, myself, by lies and falsehood always : carnation
instant rivals, doctors with gloves and kerchiefs. Here is the
way it always has been : we listen up to the noises in the dark.
