Pithos

A star spangled trident


upwards from the wine vat,
turned yellow snow

into "real trap shit"

)()(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
and the sun also rises
on
Birmingham

and in Mountain Brook
waves of "black persons"
crawl belly first and must forever
grovel and liq the pavers beneath
as the cackles of button downers
ring out with the clinks of fluted stemware

and the right hand of the Father
has mercy on us

and a white young man
from the Upper South
wore a tuxedo in Tuxedo

"They brought them here
now they're our problem."

(10 churches gone)
(Katrina blew over)

and the octoganal chapel at
Birmingham-Southern
so ecuminnny
ecumenicalical
ecumenicalish

(out side tho...)
College Hills
Graymont
Fairview
Bush Hills
and the East Thomas Park Swimming Pool (I have a baby)

Legion Field sits lonely in the nite
Legion Field is sweltering
Legion Field has MLS games in it now
Legion Field is a tumor of McLendon Park

the right hand of the Father
has mercy on us
