"Positively 38th and Guadalupe" by Wammo

Woe to us all
Our scabbarded wrists akimbo
This gem grows tiresome, musky
Micro dust settles on a bruised
Apple

Woe to the students
The dragworms
The gutter punks
Painters
Poets
Performers
Squeezed huddled phantoms
Rent crushing bones

Rally round the Treaty Stump
Yarn nostalgic
Twiddle thumbs

A new orifice for your cell phone
the carpal tunneled
grasp stuck in time carotoid high-
ways and constipated
streets rubber necked cubicle bon
bons in mouse wheel
torment klickity-klick you've got
mail.

Woe to the ghosts of breakfast
joints who lost their
smoking clientele
Woe to the river and her night-
wing guests
Raul's Foot
South Beach Vulcan Electric
Armadillo Cave Cannibals

The Les Amis Starbucks

Onward through the gulag
To the Tamale House
Her proud and noble roof
The last slack in town

Make way for the imports driving
imports
Extorting
Exporting
Exhausting the last exasperated
breath
Braking on the entrance ramp

Boomtown, you beautiful sleep-
ing dog
Shake the fleas
Come home
Lassie

Come Home
