nostalgic medley

I tend to look at things that wonder where stuff went

"Whither went?" asks that at which I tend to look.

oh - into distractions: prosperity/poverty

oh - into the heap of old technology

"Whither went outfit?" one wonders and

"what of shoe?" another...

and of soda stuffed up in silver swan neck

aloft over sleepless cigarette

of hair pomade haunting a

windlow-less lattice of pipes and skirts

oh - into droop-lidded elbow crook

coney island boardwalk

I want what I'd never have wanted.
