Drive the car and get tired
Build a bridge of twine
Across the valley of your mind
Set the night on fire with your eyes
With the fuel of your wasted days
Receive the visitors from your past
The gas huffers
And tree huggers
The bereft ball hogs
And ski bum hot dogs
The necklace builders
And shell searchers
The Leonard Cohen
Midnight bedroom
Black tea bandits
And those who
Studied French
In the lowlands
Of Baltimore
Beneath bridges
Beside freeways
For Michael Haberman
