Airport

Nasal southern voice
Announces everything as a proposition?
Teenage boy staring out through the
periscope of withdrawal
trying to figure the exchange for
Canadian currency
Head heavy, lips pasty, eyes glazed
There is only one thing
Worth anything
And its not me or my food
We are at burger king
More to the point
I met this young man at the
Detroit airport with Miami salt
still on my skin
yet again
I found a beating heart
In my sandwich
