IMPROVISATION #276
CONNECTIONS

We Beat poets try
to find connections
 which puzzle
 us into inflections
  like a prospect
of a new translation
even from our passport
when I saw
 543X563
on a woman's arm
who told me a child
in an accented voice
with her wrinkled smile
in a long line
at L.A.X airport
she had lived there
(as a child)
and almost died
in Germany.
