A Hair Raising Scheme

Joe Sonnenblick

Crossing that same river as Washington, I don’t feel as accomplished,
I’m in a car with a woman who just spent forty-five minutes calling me reckless.
Hallucinating,
Philip Glass on a tricycle riding around the summer concrete,
He’s stuck in the street.
Old covered wagons and I want in, guns drawn, I want in.
Anywhere but here
I sat on the hood of the car with a pistolero pointed up,
Couldv’e been the sky or a fever dream in Sam Shepard’s mind.
Theo Van Gogh couldn’t save his brother and I don’t think he regretted it,
Some folks are lucky that way
To not have empathy,
Some folks.
