OUT YONKERS
I said goodbye to all that.
Snakebite landscape warden.
Maintenance man to nothing.
It never was as if I was hiding;
I was always there in plain sight.
It's more that the environs never
made it worth anything good.
Washington Irving nowithstanding
his own lone presence among the
Hudson River reeds that ran the
cove below.
-
Stragglers like me get pennies to pay.
