sometimes

to make a stand
against the fog
he made a sword
of electricity
and carried it on wires through
the city

he trained the crows
to carry the wind

his ship was built of pepsi cans
and frozen pizza boxes

he received no mail
even credit card companies avoided him

his home was invaded by young women
wearing "hoodies"
Asking him to play the harmonica , they laughed,
nervously

the walls were painted to resemble
a half painted paint-by-numbers forest

sometimes he thought he
saw a half painted leprechaun
grinning at him

the fog was shipped in from foreign countries
the mail woman would leave a notice
