george is desperate
nuclear bomb new york desperate
he was in turkey five minutes ago
& asked about coffee he says
'i popped some stay-awakes on the plane'
hes wearing khakis with dress shoes -
the russian enjoyed pointing that out

george is desperate
hotel room egg squishing desperate
'still warm' he says
& in a desperate radio order
to NEST & FBI & NYPD & nicole
he says 'stop anyone north of 55th with a backpack'
oh desperate desperate george
all
the lore & the legend
we
lived
with
the busted virgins
&
the pond-dunk rumour
smoke damaged
corridors
400 ft long
is diffused now
into memory
into mediocrity
our turkey slots
replaced
repainted
& spun
a hundredfold
no more
porn for a pound
sold out the
registration class rucksacks
stolen with snacks
in the
paper route dawn
