a child’s economy
a child’s economy belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, The Urban Environment and WMGChildren of cement
selling goods on faded lane markings; you are
usurpers
dealing cigarettes and sweets;
swimming in a sidewalk’s muddy cataracts,
baptizing yourself
in the sewage
flavored by car engines and summer torrents;
appointing your own salvation.
Children of outstretched wrists and infected eyes
may the drivers pass, wave and
and not be clouded by the Romance of a your street bliss.
seraph
black gum spots
michelled
....under a hushed young rat’s ripening viscera
