IF YOU USE IT /YOU LOSE IT

  1. What I got in to / the earth / the quiet

1990 /indy /never finished / like the rising of bread /birth

  • We strut on the street /chest in theair / a BIRD PERCHED ON OUR BREAST / gREY YELLOW FEATHERS /WINGS FLUTTER /TO ASCEND / A COAT HOLDS IT FAST / A RED/WINE HAT KNOWS Y
    OU / BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE / IT TREATS YOU RIGHT

older piece /never placed / never finished

  • Anger flows /til it flows no more /jus' sits in the corner /bowing to the life / the little ones /who rise each day /eat and play

Henry /our dear friend /used to go in fridges that were in the houses of very poor people /he saw what they ate

  1. I AM SOMEONE ELSE /WHERE ARE THe YEARS TOGETHER / HERE WE ARE IN the Belmont section of the Bronx /you return to your roots /I follow you /your path / I am in Chinatown walking past columbus park up Doyers / pAST MY GRANDFATHER'S STORE /kites and tea pots / It is time for me to check you out / my body can not take the usual punishment / I've seen death like the frozen canal I want it this way /
