Day Eighteen Leafy Glen

Eighteen 10/18/10

Almost as easy as a yank key itself

we lost our home. Open and close

forty years of hard labor on wealth

That is in my back, neck, brains and rose

in price and good will for the poor

who needed the schools I suppose

With pools and equivocating lore

that makes it a joke to say to them

who grew up in New Haven, “your

Son went to jail.” Arrest the men

who misuse the mass of muscle

and jerk even the trust of women.
