a woman with a melted candy corn complextion

and a tummy full of sugar

scowling at a monarch butterfly flying drunkingly up and over

the domino's sugar factory

drunk on the thick smell of molasses

drunk on the thick smell of industral history

boats and trains howling and crying into the day

1:00 locust point port town

a teen queen welfare machine

sitting on her stoop  with her knees 2 feet apart

sleepily waves an american flag
