Content Poem by Charles Malcolm

Content



I take taxicabs
further north than I usually go
alone

I eat oysters
for two
I drink wine
for four

I pay
tip
too much, probably
grinning at candlelit prisoners
as I leave

I smoke cigarettes
on the George Washington Memorial Bridge

Head down
forearms against the guardrail
firing arrows of smoke
toward the waves

paralyzed
from this freedom
