New York
You have left it a bit late going
to New York driving a laundry
truck, I think youll be better
off going to Florida, the kind
lady at the American embassy
said. But I have a dream bought
a street map, know of a place
called Bronx, a friend of mine
reads poetry by the subways
exit to cheer people up as they
are hastening to work. The pay
as a driver may not be good
but at least I got to do my own
laundry for free She didnt
hear me. If you dont like
Florida, go to New Mexico Ive
got a brother there and hell
fix you up with a job Ok?
A man in a blindingly white,
starched shirt and newly pressed
suit appeared asked me what
I thought of the dictator in Iraq
Go get him I said hoping to
sound like John Wayne. We
both smiled broadly and shark
like as we swaggered down
the embassys roman steps.
