What to call it:
the Junk Tribe,
Exile, Plenitude?
Is there a word for
“have-an-affinity-with”
Not quite fear
Just feeling it slip away
unmarked
In that lavish span between
Emma Goldman and Marilyn Monroe
Quentin Tarantino and Cesar Chavez
Jerry Seinfeld and Samuel Beckett
The answer to everything --
stolen goods, plutonium, whatever
is throw it away when it gets
too old too hot too dense
This is considered cleansing
