UNTITLED

                I

                There she goes

                The woman

                In the blond wig

                Walking;

                And when it rains

                A blue umbrella.

JIMMY

        He tried to remove the rocks in the rough driveway

        Did Jimmy, the old colored who worked without wages

        The old man, simple, gentle, not quite part of the family

        Who had a bed in the attic, a toilet in the basement

        And took his meals in the pantry

AFTER THE CATACLYSM

        the first to arrive were strangers

        who saw men

        women

        very few children
