a poem by Joseph Hargraves
Trailer Park Literati at 13
I listened to Mozart
in the trailer-park,
until the washing machine
caused the tin can home
to shake--
causing
the record player's
arm to dance over
"Don Giovanni."
I looked up from
Dostoevsky's The Idiot,
while waiting for
everything to stop
vibrating,
grateful
for photographs
of my only friend,
Nijinsky--
and my good taste
in shoplifting.
