Where a one-armed man
sought a one-legged woman
among the blacklights
trained on Zodiac posters,
Afro'd couples kama-sutrad
while women brawled
rolling over floor-boards,
skirts up as they clawed
to the delight of seamen,
one of whom confided
you are the only person
who is not on the take.
On the exact corner
is an upscale restaurant.
The poor have vanished,
rising in the world.
Those homeless men
with their hands out
make me bristle--
once I helped them.
