INUTIL PAISAGEM

. . . an epilogue for Michael Reese Hospital:

INUTIL PAISAGEM

Here I am with a
step ladder
and a box of light bulbs

standing at the corner
each morning
with my
lunchbox and a thermos
full of coffee

the men in black
lincolns never stop
and the
windows on ellis avenue
are still dark.
