9236. LEANING THIS WAY

LEANING THIS WAY
The tiger in the basement just
yawned  - I'm think about
leaving town. It has eyes like
charcoal red-spots, screaming
back in silent fury : I can read
but I can't always understand.
-
Now I sit me down, in my idle
flop-hat to make chit-chat at the
surface-rail station in Jersey City
New Jersey. Here, where the 'crook
of the day award' always goes to
the local Senator   - whether it's
Robert Menendez or Cory Booker 
or once, even, Robert Torricelli.
Ha! That lasted about two weeks.
-
Let's not forget Frank Lautenberg.
Let's not forget Harrison Williams.
The Metropark Train Station was
once named after him  -  that last 
about two. weeks too! Ha!
-
Indictments have a way 
of changing  things.
