Street lamps: Darkness mellowed! Localized peace, Elsewhere bawdy menace! Grunge of stars Celestial rust Stolen (but invalid) atm card While the night guard Snorts; alas! A motorcade kills the trance: Importance unanimous Passed in the holy parliament, Tested…well-judged! I hurry to other alleys Leaving behind a heave of dust… No great man! No vision Greater than refilling stomach! No identity: Thief or melodramatic tramp! Strange to earth Estranged from kindness, For what flows inside Isn’t human-blood! ... When I was born? Where I was born? To whom I was born? Why I was born? Paroxysm of questions! No concussion of relief!... Safe now beneath a bridge! …Yes you can call it home! Here to close my eyes, fall asleep— Past into the dreams of fierce horses, Fireflies and some papery kiss!
