Waiting on Third Avenue
& 81st street,
that’s Bay Ridge
not the prick-
shaped island on
a Saturday pre-fever
afternoon,
just out post
lunch @ the
Bridge View Diner
where we’ve never
ever had a bridge
view, & while you go
into the Brooklyn Market
which isn’t a market
at all
& I watch
our bikes al-
ready laden
with what was bought
at the actual market,
two tee shirts criss
cross each other
right between me
& our bikes
& the shirt going
north reads
All you need is less
& the one going
south says
below the picture
of a large
crucifix-shaped
corkscrew,
screw it!
