from GREEN ZONE NEW ORLEANS


                        V

For autumn is no out. No more harbor
For the master. A pair of nice breasts

In my bed is worth two-hundred
Postcards from the French Quarter.

More if I'm reading the Kama Sutra.
What of small scrapes between

People. As in the tale of "The Knife
And the Pea." As in two suicides waiting

To unload. You see, burning down
The enemy's house is actually quite

Easy. You use the laundry line for
A fuse. One grenade through the rear

Window and one match for the cigarette
Afterwards. What gives meaning

To my wife back home? White wine
And shabby suffering. All else is

Only the repeated thought of the cock
In her mouth that's not mine.
