BELLADONNA WEEKEND

In "little Italy"
watching the film
"Il Sorpasso"
after the cast party
having orange pasta
at 3 A.M.
with two guys
disputing Nietzche
and Che
waiting for the Sunday
papered over reviews
of my play,
expecting to rise
up and jog in Central Park
on my belladonna weekend
from your night shade
in a better mood.
