From There To Here

SHUSHU and SWISH-PLOP
go the skirts of
Panamanian street vendors.

Details lost in mayhem
and thoughtless repetition

Scratch-plunk of the spade
in sandy earth
gold bars in dreams buried
stolen
hopping fences like cracks
in the sidewalk

And somewhere,
in the wool sweaters
of Ohio,
a melting pot
gets the girls stoned.

Speaker. Triangulation.
Fist soft against brick.
