New
Year's in St. Thomas
by David Gershator
throat operation
no food no drink
no parties
hospital bed
doctor's boombox
no rap just blues
in a white
hospital gown
latest New Year's outfit
an intruder
goes from bed to bed
talking Jesus
doctor
to poet
don't talk
don't sing
unable
to talk
I envy the talkers
unable to sing
I lip synch
into the New Year...
Parties all over
the island
this poet's on drugs
