Mavis

in Kankakee i'll stay
just by the fly
skinny lofts all gone
look so good
walking backwards
look up through the floor
all flop down

favors done, horse eyes

the curtains they are
half closed
broke out glass eye
time gone clogged
cripple green lamp
with gray light
jockeys gone to the strap
all flop down

ten to one, post time
