Main Course

"...Bruce Wayne’s still got all of the money..."

Main Course

end of the day
opposition’s
in looney bin
and Bruce Wayne’s still got
all of the money

trash
cheerily barrel rolling
down the sidewalk
poorly extinguished butt
burns a hole in my pocket

always the same
bridges and stairways
with good light
have access to
and can pull a permit

braking sharply
the belt keeps me
from straying
structural integrity
of concrete dividers

she’s heard Americans
resort to cannibalism…
but who doesn’t
under the right
set of circumstances
