5595. FUNNY TIMES

FUNNY TIMES
The source of the water was the Delaware River,
running down from Frenchtown where Delmore 
Schwartz tried living. Some little old farmhouse 
in the old middle of nowhere, throwing a football
on a hill running down; some old New Jersey town.
Now there's nothing but some people crying, or
wondering what to cry for, or why. I can't find
the reason, exactly, myself  -  the old, crumpled
cigarette pack in the corner, the field-mice in
the field. Take somebody with you when you go.
All they ever talk about is this and that of crash
scenes and disaster sites. I'm so crazy sick
of everything in this world.
