12,786. LIKING WHAT I SEE BUT NOT SEEING WHAT I LIKE

LIKING WHAT I SEE BUT
NOT SEEING WHAT I LIKE
Jenny oh Jenny, your camelhair raincoat
is made out of steel. Nothing bends when
it should. And the source of the Nile, at
Victoria Falls, seems running now from
your hair. I'm not sure what to make of
whatever it is I see. 
-
Maybe I've traveled too ar to think I'll
find the oasis; as the jungle past is the
jungle past. Nothing here now can make 
that back. 818 West 18th. 521 West 10th.
They too are all rarities now. Whenever
it starts raining in this abominable city
I start again thinking of you.
-
What to do about that? There's
really nothing to do.
