For The Foxes

Don't feel sorry for me.

I am a competent,

satisfied human being.

be sorry for the others

who

fidget

complain

who

constantly

rearrange their

lives

like

furniture.

juggl ing mates

and

attitudes

their

confusi on is

constant

and it will

touch

whoever they

deal with.

beware of them:

one of their

key words is

'love.'

and beware those who

only take

instructions from their

God

for they have

failed completely to live their own

lives.

don't feel sorry for me

because I am alone

for even

at the most terrible

moments

humor

is my

companion.

I am a dog walking

backwards

I am a broken

banjo

I am a telephone wire

strung up in

Toledo, Ohio

I am a man

eating a meal

this night

in the month of

September.

put your sympathy

aside.

they say

water held up

Christ:

to come

through

you better be

nearly as

lucky.
