THE DIFFERENCE

Ishion Hutchinson

They talk oil in heavy jackets and plaid over

their coffee, they talk Texas and the north cold,

but mostly oil and Obama, voices dipping

vexed and then they talk Egypt failing,

Greek broken and it takes cash for France not

charity and I rather speak Russia than Ukraine

one says in rubles, than whatever, whatever

the trouble, because there is sea and gold,

a tunnel, wherever right now, an-anyhow-Belarus,

oh, I will show you something, conspiring

coins, this one, China, and they marvel,

their minds hatched crosses, a frontier

zeroed not by voyage or pipeline nor the milk

foam of God, no, not the gutsy weather they talk

frizzled, the abomination worsening

opulence to squalor, never the inverse.
