Poem

Letter Found Blown Against a Fence

Fat chances spread their fat thighs

and the bed breaks. Straightening

gracefully however back up, arranging my

things, I stroll into the hall. Someone else

’s house is always a challenge, don’t you think?

Coffee pots thumbing their way off all the tables’

it’s like a movie! Stimulated,

I leave the house. I’m looking for work. Oh,

the splendor of the sky! I love life,

I can’t help it. Soon I’ll tell you where to send money.

I just wanted you to know that I’m thinking of you.

I don’t know when I’ll be home.
