THANKSGIVING?

thanksgiving


so much to be thankful for

and so much not to be


but in a world

where a crust of bread


and a mouthful of

not-too-diseased water


is so scarce

it is cause for killing


to make such a fetish

of gratitude is like the lip service


of brotherhood as your eyes

avert a beggar


thankful for the imagined distance....
