RICHARD HUGO EATING EGGS IN PHILIPSBURG


The family tree waving like a maniac

you don't have to sit on the stone
bench listening to my narrative dream--

Spider Man versus Society

I was eating a New England boiled dinner

surprise! they tell you
and you get to pick a popular disease--

Grasshopper colon, for instance . . .

I looked at the kiddie pools and trumpeter swans amidst the fine
smoky red bricks and ventilator hoods

we're not half as righteous as we'd like to be

like bright laundry

sausage, and emotional blackmail
