I finally gave up

got back to my car

and drove to my place on

DeLongpre Avenue

where I uncapped a beer

lucked upon some Wagner

on the radio

and then my landlady in the back

came out and we went

over to her place

where we drank two quarts of Eastside beer

one after the other

while her old man

in a white torn undershirt

his head resting on the table

slept peacefully.

she talked about

Catholicism

(she went to mass every Sunday)

and the horrors of

hemorrhoids and gallstones

(and operations for same)

and in between we sang songs

from the 30’s,

Bing Crosby songs and the like,

and when I left there at

5 a.m.

it was unclearly the 5th of July

and I had forgotten all about

my failure to ravish

Julia.
