Poem: Smell Coast To Coast Roses
By: Gerard Sarnat
Walking new body
on Frisco’s Embarcadero
Pacifica Radio radical
paranoia in general
but now specifically
about how radioactive
left titanium knee & hip
are alt-right gov’t’s way
to get back at moi
for protesting Trump.
Despite hard work +
pretty good pedigrees
geriatric word-tinkerers
of all sorts – best friend
is youngest member
of our men’s group
well as most interested
in children but he’s
also the only widower,
never had kids
— come out from
our individual podunks
to instantiate being
myself or anyone
else here or strolling
through Boston Gahden.
