howard good

1. JUST LIKE EDGAR ALLEN POE'S BLUES



I found my heart wandering
the streets of Baltimore,

penniless,
raving unintelligibly,

dressed in someone else's clothes.
It was coming from a funeral,

or going to one,
and when I omitted to ask whose,


it was gone.
But, all these years later,

mere acquaintances
continue to receive letters

begging for $10 for the fare home.
