The Fog at Night









The capital
an avalanche of "my feelings, my feelings"
I could be sick
Iranian punks
 In Elvis t-shirts and dagger boots
Authentic, a revelation

The skinny lantern-jawed kid hammers the verse down
 not notes from the poetic realm 
and far beyond language
he has no need to be descriptive 
is free to articulate
and does
 to great effect
"I need you"
"Get me out of this body"
