1.
jam
two toughs
my German buddy
happy birthday
the telephone
begging
the feel of it
the greatest actor of our day
days like razors, nights full of rats
in and out of the dark
be kind
the man with the beautiful eyes
a strange day
Trollius and trellises
air and light and time and space
the eagle of the heart—
bright red car
moving toward the 21st century
the lady and the mountain lion
a laugh a minute
hello, Hamsun
death is smoking my cigars
hock shops
hell is a closed door
pulled down shade
before Aids
hunk of rock
poetry
dinner, 1933
such luck
flophouse
hand-outs
waiting
those mornings
everything you touch
car wash
the flashing of the odds
poetry contest
peace
the bluebird
2.
going out
the replacements
the genius
a poet in New York
no sale
this
now
in error
confession
mugged
the writer
they don’t eat like us
let me tell you
blasted apart with the first breath
Elvis lives
my buddy in valet parking at the racetrack:
see here, you
spark
the science of physiognomy
victory
Edward Sbragia
wandering in the cage
the pack
question and answer
fan letter
hold on, it’s a belly laugh
finished
zero
eyeless through space
tag up and hold
upon this time
Downtown Billy
8 count
ill
only one Cervantes
that I have known the dead
are you drinking?
“D”
in the bottom
the creative act
a suborder of naked buds
companion
you know and I know and thee know

show biz
darkness & ice
the big ride
small cafe
