Responsibilities

A check for
one thousand
one hundred
and 
fifty eight
dollars
arrives by
mail.

It would be 
suitable
to support
several
exhibitions
of utter barely 
confinable madness
or
abject flight
to
New Orleans
San Francisco
Seattle.

But I will
use it
to settle
an 
outstanding
construction
debt.

Another
lukewarm 
under spiced
ladle
of
bourgeois
practicality soup 
please.

I may soon
contract
my
own
assassination.
