Mikha’El Dan
no whispers of whitman
can we find elegance
in all things
in the suffering of him
witness of the errant world
bottle caps for brakes
bags for dressers
a blessing made at each stop
a sacrifice
I ride his bedroom
a fictitious vagabond
from Los Angeles to Long Beach
three rosaries wrapped around his neck
skinny as
but heavy as
a dollar for a bag of chips
a dollar for a drink
O I say now!
