Goyohka 6/10/09

I have the exuberance
of youth
and the wisdom
of experience
It's all I know

The shad tree
catches
the wind
and smells like semen.
Oh! Fecund Spring!

We are all travelers
in this country
playing Twister
with other lands:
A pretzel of a culture.

If you want
to travel
to foreign places
go to New York
and walk eight blocks.
