There is St. Ignatius Church
There is Point Bonita
There is a bug like a wasp
its giant antennae
flail and thwack the concrete in its path
Fennel green and yellow lace
Great moss rose a flowery shaving-brush
You’re the only creature I really love
Aside from Mama and my Teddy bear
I never miss you until I think of you
Now you love lots more than I
No matter how often we meet you never see me
I’ve become an old man
Soon I’ll be keeping cats and goldfish
A large photo album of the days when I was middle-aged
In love with you and expecting immortal fame.

The moral arc of history ideally bends towards justice but just as soon as not curves back around toward barbarism, sadism, and unrestrained chaos (2010).
