(hysterical)

the committee

listening

while you

 limped

around

the room

collected

the money-

Aunt Honey

Uncle Sam

a stranger

with a

cloth arm

in his pocket

and huge

young

bald head

of Abraham

 Lincoln

Brigade

your long

sad face

your tears

of sexual

frustration

what smothered

sobs

and bony hips

under

the pillows

of Osborne

Terrace

the time I stood

on the toilet

seat naked
