The early poems of an American master
"I have loved the air outside Shop-Rite Liquoron summer evenings
better than the Marin hills at dusk
lavender and gold
stretching miles to the sea. At the junction, up from the synagogue
a weeknight, necessarily

a sale on German beer. Air full of living dust:
bus exhaust, air-borne grains of pizza crust
wounded crystals
appearing, disappearing
among streetlights and unsuccessful neon."
