Aces & Eights
For Neil
I learned a lesson
from Wild Bill:
Never tolerate a door
to your rear.
Distrust all windows.
If there are mirrors
use them as extra eyes.
I practice these things.
I worry that my desk
exposes my back
to the Kennedy Towers.
I know my death
will not be that
personal,
but when the flash
burns me
I hope I’ll be holding
Bill’s last hand.
