CLOSE WINDOW

 

 

 

 

 from Revival

It’s good to be dead in America
with the movies, curtains and drift,
the muzak in the theater.
It’s good to be in a theater waiting
for The Best Years of Our Lives to begin.
Our first night back, we’re here
entertaining a hunch our plane did crash
somewhere over the Rockies, luggage
and manuscripts scattered, charred fragments
attempting to survive the fatal draft.
