lost one night in st. louis
down from chicago
drinking wine
with brakemen, nuns, whores
auditioning farm girls
haunting rogers hall
for a fox double scotch rocks
grosse point boy sneered
an echo at love
looking through the hole
he put in his own head
in 1967 we were electric
a double feature in
the lindell boulevard toddle house
paid for our sins in the nam
without bolting
through the masonic temple parking lot
cowboys now and older with pablo,
a cross legged ginsberg,
straight out of crooked confusion
mad old university gangsters
in a red german cadillac
getting high narrowly
with the fiction in us
broken down movie extras
