Looking for a Man
December, 2018
Look for a man
clad in long sleeves.
He cuffs a knife.
He won’t beg.
Across the street a smart
phone plays Ravel’s Bolero
while a woman screams
in French The madman!
The madman!
Look for a man
made by Pfizer
whose thyroid eyes
don’t blink
at night while
you and I
and the stars do.
Look for a man
from the movies
alongside Peter Lorre,
black or white
he left pop-
corn in your empty hand,
dropped poison
in your ear, cut scarlet
kisses on your exhausted
throat.
