on
61st street
eating the snows of
Kilimanjaro
smoking crystal from
mozambique
fine champagne from
bordeaux
and last week i saw
you
betty ford bound
detoxification to fossil
remains
carnivore in a cage
leeching venom from
bloodstream
fed by intravenous
love
TLC by burly men in
white
on 71st street
eating the snows of
Kilimanjaro
jane goodall did not
sanction
baboons foraging on
coca leaves
on curbside diners
wearing ascots
fine silverware from
tiffanies
weekends in the hamptons
smoking crystal from
cali
haile salassi rastafari
burroughs
glass by corning
leaves pulmonary scars
in your fragile soul
on 110th street
eating the snows of
Kilimanjaro
your dentist would
not approve
speed for your soul
driving 100 in a 30
mile zone
and slam into a wall
private suite in bellevue
drawing pictures by
day
knitting quilts for
aunt may
dreaming of Kilimanjaro
but noone will call
when the bottom falls
only the snows from
Kilimanjaro
