The South Shore

Pack it, a taste of mule
----
The East Chicago man with an Egyptian jawbone
-----------saand a Harley Davidson jacket
---
Opines across the aisle
---
She was too beautiful to be hooking
--
We're all too beautiful
To be on this train
--
The Notre Dame law students
Having a sidebar
--
My standard of living
--
No, ma'am, I don't have a pen or a pain killer
--
I have a 4x2 Japanese silk screen print
From the Art Institute that is teetering
--
Above my head all four seasons of fishes
--
And flowers in progression
--
The last stop is South Bend
-------You won't miss it
---
A long quietude
