POSTHUMOUS WORK

 

It seems unlikely that in this life I will

Assume my place with the ragged men

Standing in the street and looking

Into the fire they've made out of boards

And boxes and anything that will burn;

My ghost -- as if he won't have enough troubles! --

Falling heir to this debt may spend some

Coldest night of the year dragging two by fours

(Stolen from an unguarded construction  site)

South along Second Avenue
