To Remain in Your Good Graces

If you care to listen

I could tell you a lot

about a little:


A fed bear is a dead bear;

dire desperation

at the mercy

of technology;

stolen hotel towels

that never get quite clean;

an unfulfilled need

to be among those

with whom you can

be silent.


It's hell on earth.

What sorcery is this?


Where you toss

your pocket change

says much about

who you are.


A man whom I paid

five thousand dollars

told me to go smoke

in the shower


and I'll trade you more tidbits

if you can make sense of that.


Come on--

for a friend?
