Lawrence Ferlinghetti
is
born in 1918
& still lives
Today in
2016
Beat that!
ornery sniper
phlox magenta fingernails
telescopic sites
hatless in Brussels
some neutralised citizen
dragged away limp
infernal vocal
fake jazz baroque pearl diva
nails it up in one
sacrificial holy cows
coming home to roast dinners
wet Sundays in spring
sporting sprouting broccoli
in handbags full of legs
after rites of massage
