Ode #4 to the Zero

Kenneth DiMaggio

My responsibility ends
with your next
stock market crash

I may not have any cash
but I have a spray can
of paint and
an entire city
to walk around in

I need your government
and religion
just like I need
to become a suicide
bomber or the soldier
invading another
civilization

It’s a grand old flag
and an even
grander crucifixion

Listen to someone
who’s wasted
their life like me

Call in sick as much
as you can

Live your life like Villon
Tupac
Amy Winehouse
and all the other great
criminals of literature

Try to find someone
you can love
and try to stay in
bed with that person
forever
