post office, Sunset Park
digging on Mississippi John Hurt
the definite article
watching a guy try and fail
to zip his leather jacket
Italian-American bus driver tells
African-American postal clerk
he’s looking for Tony Bennet stamps
“I’m still stuck with these Kwanzaa stamps.”
“Lucky for you it’s Kwanzaa again.”
Laughter.
Mississippi John Hurt is singing about
fish and money. But not really.
