Brooklyn Anchorage

and at noon I will fall in love

and nothing will have meaning

except for the brownness of

the sky, and tradition, and water

and in the water off the railway

in New Haven all the lights

go on across the sun, and for

millennia those who kiss fall into

hospitals, riding trains, wearing

black shoes, pursued by those

they love, the Chinese in the armies

with the shiny sound of Johnny Cash,

and in my plan to be myself

I became someone else with

soft lips and a secret life,

and I left, from an airport,

in tradition of the water

on the plains, until the train

started moving and yesterday

it seemed true that suddenly

inside of the newspaper

there was a powerline and

my heart stopped, and everything

leaned down from the sky to kill me

and now the cattails sing.
