IS YOUR TOWN NINEVEH?

Why so desolate?

And why multiply

in phantasmagoria about fishes,

what disgusts you? Could

not all personal upheaval in

the name of freedom, be tabood?

Is it Nineveh

and are you Jonah

in the sweltering east wind of your wishes?

I, myself have stood

there by the aquarium, looking

at the Statue of Liberty.
