the morning paper gives
an artist friend several
dozen inches and photo
but only because my wife
hounded them to do so
nearby an old man
who drove a bus
gets brief polite
required notice
of his passing
no photo
does it come to this?
coverage in the obit
section of the paper
with the squeaky wheel
getting the grease?
later in households
throughout the city
both artist and driver
wrap the garbage
another monument to
equality
