6806. IMMULACUM

IMMULACUM
Rutherford New Jersey's where I want to be :
on the edge of those sickening meadowlands, the
small shopping centers and strip malls challenge.
Patches of marsh and water  -  paved over things
where parking lots take precedence : we then wonder
about those screaming gulls and marshland natives.
-
Everything found in one place  -  the cast-offs, the tires 
and the shopping carts, the old debris of all that lumber.
William Carlos Willliams, hear me now, while my eyes
are close to sleep. I may never awake. I may not want to.
-
If I read another freaky memoir I'll know the Pope is coming over.
