You, Located
World Series in
City by the Bay so
camera establishes
bridges and water and
plopped in the middle, Rock
of Alcatraz, apprehended
from your gangster flicks
of course, but what if
Alcatraz made
a movie about you?
Your absurd escapes
and suspect modes?
How you and place
interpenetrate?
Often for ill.
I’ll get you into
the laundry, not
the worse gig
but caution!
Always! Shivs
have a way there,
midst the shim-
mering steam and sacks,
of mysteriously finding backs.
