loose change
by William Allegrezza
I was only shot six times before I changed
my name to Gara and moved to Florida.
try to follow the line
that expands throughpacked earth
and spreadsnot to eliminate erosion
but to complicate place
somewhere a pole is swinging
and birds cry about intolerance
children place paper games in the wind
I picked the town from an ad in my magazine stash.
I never expected it to be full.
the real shifts
and we hear only voices
through a silent chamber
talking about people
long dead
we cannot even trust stone to protect us
