Day-Glo spray paint:
 
 Joanne Loves Richie
 
 Punx Rule
 
 Nuke Fags and Lesbos
 
 And
 
 Amber Is a Slut.
 
 The dead leaves and plastic bags scatter
 
 in the breeze from the park
 
 and men in business suits try to keep the
 
 last few remaining strands of hair covering
 
 their pink bald spots.
 
 Cigarette packets and used-up chewing gum
 
 coat the gray sidewalk.
 
 And I think
 
 What does it matter
 
 that it is not a linear equation if any variable is raised to a power?
 
 We’re all just going to die anyway.
