hustle obscure cherish
discipline
my fine clandestine
my raw dog
my fish reservoir, shamble-janco
and on the 20, Jackson's pompador,
how he won the war and we bought Florida
with eyes so blue, that hairdo like my poverty
with its own incursions
Old Hickory blowing holes in the Seminoles,
letting riff raff the White House
spittle & cuss, rough cigars, thorny girls
me on the ferry, across Champlain,
no one on shore to blame
