SELF ANNIHILATION WITH SHOPPING BAG LADIES


Alan Catlin



Chorus line shopping bag ladies,
lined up for the underground,
catching subways on the hot
El tracks, humming strange lines
from Ravel, waving goodbye to
la dolce vita, carrying all
they own wrapped in special
sections of the New York Times,
safely tucked under broken arms,
grabbing all the gusto they can,
as it comes, in a rush, head on
