UNDERGROUND VOICES: POETRY
JOHN DORSEY

the holy mission of russell vidrick

drunk on words i
walk down the street
thinking russ doesn't look
like much of a
knight not even in
the style of don
quixote it's raining while
he tightly holds on
to bree's library card
as if it were
the holy grail more
intent on purpose than
crusade he has a
lost sad look in
his eyes once they
dreamt of proust james
joyce wonka bars with
golden tickets 1960's surf
music and steamy nights
turned to
                  noir

peering up at the
sky you can just
tell he is looking
for the words to
find himself again as
if they were written
in the
                  stars
