In Providence.
alternate universe?
well, i don't really know
is not my family
is not my sleep schedule
-is not my throat swelling
-my mild heart mildly twittering at distant thoughts
-is not my consumer wallet empty
is not my bed nor home nor
fight to concern myself with

the south side
the lovely rotten
skeptic faces & boarded-up buildings
trash lot parking church lot

the brown-green
un-funny overly irony
flannel glasses foreign language
politics narcissism nostaligia
the unheard mumbled voice
of the youth
of today
-laughingcrying WhyOhWhy

smiling sleep to siren wails
urban comfort
broken glass

economy tank & crowded malls
"the value of America's moral currency"
