mostly off; broken again. the third one

in two years. sometimes it seems

like I’m too hard on my gear.

freshly wrung out, its time to turn the page;

struggling read about social injustice,

the conflicting messages of congress,

and the war in iraq. seat cold, eyes sore,

Now all I’m left with is overheard in new york…
