TORT REFORM

They talk about the alluring bouquet
Of McDonald’s fries, but it’s lost
On me, lost like the sense
Of interest in the immense project,
Not that I want a winged-seed monument
To my misspent lace-up of blank
Glow in the palm and by the face.
Dime face up at a payphone 50th
And 9th means get down there
Finish the next five. They are little
But they are legion. Look at them play!
