The Case of the Burnt-Out Firefly
D. Michael McNamara
The case of the burnt-out firefly:
a certain comfort the road holds.
a certain loneliness your lover leaves.
i’ve got a woman and she is
(she really is)
-- but on the nominal tip,
the philological lip, --
all i really need,
all i really dream of,
but
-- remember that kid?
always had twenty-seven
(value-packed)
pieces of gum
and still wouldn’t share? --
i’m he.
