DescriptionLetterpress printed poem booklet by Snee McCaig , titled "Last Poems"Bowery Hotel
In the last stages possession
gets strange: a couple
streets (if you keep moving) 6x4
area where you sleep/blankets
are ambitions. "Old man, you eatin' good?"
Some
are not in contention /trust glow in your hands
(a cupped cigarette) "I was a combat
engineer" .Some
have had virgins one
was a mark himelf once he learned
The washrooms are only half
dangerous (worse
in summer when
sighs gather under the roof like bees)
KEEP YOUR HEALTH
lattice work instead of transoms,
outside windows glazed. Is Ice!
only a buck 80
a night & Ray, the fat man on the desk, has bluesy illusions.
Peace. Love if you have the strength
(a schoolboy's room)
warm between the injured & the injured.
