THE OLD MAN IN BOMBAY BEACH
How sad you must be
to live out your life
along the Salton
Sea, to eat the dust
of loneliness, and
then to eat some more.
I'm not saying you
have chosen badly,
though clearly it was
the last choice to make,
here where the wind takes
everything and hope
is a tattered flag.
