Luft Menschen

She said they are all luft menschen!!!

Air people,and if course she is right

but as soon as you ask its like opening

cans of tuna, serrated, oily,fishy, thick.

One son in prison,and one son dead now

just six weeks ago from manic depression,

and hes living with the sons wife and baby

"til she gets over the hump" and him calmly

on the phone trying to make a connection.

And if you were alive you would say to me

with your worldly Bronx accent, and that 

tone of warm irony: where do you find these

people? Where do you find them???
