1.
the yearning in that chrome yellow vette
mondegreen of mondegreens
why shouldn't i love you here
as elsewhere

in the rage of cars
in the fall of em-
pires
     Jyestha
one-wing'd dove

2.
the pain of not being listened to
the sjambok stops here
will a cellphone
save you from that
if you bury one
within each ear

used to have gods for this

all our quarrels boil
down to who's worthy
of being listened to
and i say

till every one is worthy
none of us is

3.
so nearly do all things flow
even one sting
yields

Caliban
in the turban of a Taliban

if the lentils be added last
Hell opened to Christians
sweet Mary of silence

Night of the crabs
