CUTTING IT CLOSE


CUTTING IT CLOSE

Gent's Barber Shop, just
after 9, waiting for Angie,
one man in chair ahead of me.
I brought her some peaches
from Johnson's Orchard.
Before leaving the house
I cut Karen fresh spears
of cold Mexican melon.
Karen let me read
some words to Jesus
a man asked me to read aloud
petitioning for poverty
in all things and transactions.
