《Everywhere Beggars Rolling》
Dragging down the street
cemetery, tiny
graves tucked
in month-old sun
Muscular butterflies
fluttering
breathingly...
The taste of withered
kisses, muse & nurses
Left leg dragged limply
chasing the ball
across the sewage
Neighbor girl with polio
believes happiness
is perfect white
teeth
The plot for the long-
lived death
paralyzed true
sadness makes
good luck fatal...
Lovers holding hands
under makeshift shanties
of tomorrow's dream
to duck the cold rain
while beggars rolling
everywhere...
--ZZ, June 2004
