everything happens to me
for mark ritsema
all my life I ve paid
& paid, until my dues card
is punched up
on all 4 sides,
a child
of relative privilege who chose
to take the way
of the lowest
beatnik,
dope fiend,
poet provocateur,
race traitor & renegade
, living from hand to mouth
& euro to euro,
sleeping on the couches
& extra beds of my friends,
a man without a country
& a post office box in new orleans
for a permanent address,
a pre-pay vodafone
& a laptop computer,
one suitcase stuffed with clothing
& a bag full of manuscripts
& hand-burnt cds
to keep my head straight
& my heart right,
to keep up my travels
& carry on the struggle
into another new year,
taking my little verses
& great big world outlook
everywhere people will have me
