96 Vandam by Gerald Stern I am going to carry my bed into New York City tonight. I want to have it with me so I don't have to beg for too much shelter from my weak friends. I want to fall asleep on my own fire escape and wake up dazed and hungry.

I am going to carry my bed into New York City tonight
complete with dangling sheets and ripped blankets; I am going to push it across three dark highways or coast along under 600,000 faint stars. I want to have it with me so I don't have to beg for too much shelter from my weak and exhausted friends. I want to be as close as possible to my pillow in case a dream or a fantasy should pass by. I want to fall asleep on my own fire escape and wake up dazed and hungry to the sound of garbage grinding in the street below and the smell of coffee cooking in the window above.
Poem of the Day Remora, Remora by Thomas Lux
Clinging to the shark is a sucker shark, attached to which and feeding off its crumbs is one still tinier, inch or two, and on top of that one, one the size of a nick of gauze; smaller and smaller (moron, idiot, imbecile, nincompoop) until on top of that is the last, a microdot sucker shark, a filaments tip with a heartbeat sliced off, and the great sea all around feeding his host and thus him. Hes too small to be eaten himself (though some things swim with open mouths) so he just rides along in the blue current, the invisible point of the pyramid, the top beneath all else.
