The Grape Smashers

We distill grapes

On bedroom windows

And drink a gallon

Of despair-

There,

There in the beak

Of loneliness

There

At the peak

Of poverty

Yes, you and I

The grape smashers:

Strangers

Across a city

You in your hi-rise

And me on the street-

Shaking our bottles

At invisible windows

Lest we should ever meet.
