Listen listen short story
to tell about Sartre
and Miles and the day I fell
beneath a Cartagena taxi
(woke up two or three months
later in Chicago they say)
About old cafés Lear jets
sleeping in snow and
listen that hospital
they saved me (I learned
how to live there
from a young soldier
with no legs)
About Jerusalem Damascus
Antietam and I’ll let you
know which candidate
I voted for (and will again—
I’ll explain why if you listen)
But mostly I will tell you
no shit how a stubborn
90-year-old woman can
save you when you lay
alone and broken
4,000 miles from home
