ALL THOSE ENDLESS
TYRANNIES
...And when they came for the
mountaintops, it was far too late.
Madhatters and fools, gunned
down like adulterers. Battering
ram hearts and suspended ideas
of justice. To be sure, the man
had to yell 'The End Is Near!'

The old Elks hall, in Newark, is
now along MLK Drive. Used to
be High Street, once. Not so far
off, as well, is the Hells Angels
Jersey base. Nice place. A firehouse
or something, maybe, once long
before. Carwash. Burger joint.

The distant vista is New York
City's west side : It appears like a
mirage and is sometimes hid by the
clouds. Divine apparitions. Known
to have been seen! Things come.
Things go.

The old mother, once called Josephine,
is gone now. The other one, Mary,
as well. Sisters too, disappeared.
Fathers, we've lost, in pairs. Since I
can't keep track of these things, I just
let it all go. I watch where I park,
and make sure the meters are full.
