Long Bumming Poems

In my New England town
our local Democratic Party runs everything.

Some would argue these local celebrities
and self-promoting treasures
to posterity
rather over-run everything,

This darkness is all I know, 
a widow's wardrobe of funeral clothes.

the seed inside me grows allowing the little girl I was to die.

Insomniac sleep walking down the streets,...

For most of his 
Bumming around days
He was lost 
In dead end jobs
Once in the gym
He became a silhouette of youth
Weaving like a cobra
Slipping

Possessing  speed
And brutal power
Waiting
To...
