13,900. EUSTACE TILLEY IS DEAD

EUSTACE TILLEY IS DEAD 

The head holds the neck in place.

The awkward box holds the remains

of Culture's trace, with a cap-C.

- 

Almost  on Tillary Street too but 

not quite. I slept there once, at the 

end of the Promenade. No one there

bothered me at all. It was 1984

-

My Native American friend

'Red' said he'd never talk to me

again. And I've never seen him

since, but I've heard that he was

dead. (So much for Red).

-

All this dying strangles me, and

the head holds the neck in place.
