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!
