Learning To Inhale

It's 4 a.m.--  

A hotel
bible is spreading
the good
news to a local wino,
as dirty children
of intimate strangers 
are playing X Box
with addicts.

A young girl
is learning 
to inhale up 
on the
gravel rooftop,
scribing poetry
on her arm
in the minute 
moonlight.

Razor writing
is such
a waste of type O.
