Although we look thin
this is not
and never will be
'The Last Exit To Brooklyn'

now
that was a read
put ideas in your eyes and ears,
censored, not censored, but it
could have been.

Seen lots since then
'The Road to Babi Yar
read
Of Mice and Men
and
The Great Gatsby
but it always puzzles me

and I ask why
and what?
