For Nothing But Poem by Robert Rorabeck

The city cries as it is gone, and I am coming into this world:
I who have two sisters:
I who have been to this Disney World: Disney World of senior
Trips, what were they teaching us:
While the herded us onto the splendiferous bus, doctors and lawyers
And each to his own:
Oh what, oh what were they teaching us;
And I can remember you there underneath the free spaces
Of Space Mountain, Sharon:
But oh what were they teaching us while I did ecstasy and your
Last thoughts where of your late father: oh, Sharon;
Oh how do I think of you now, while the city burns up its quantrills
So high up on its windowsills. While your first and last daughter
Is almost forgotten, while your co-captain, what’s her name,
Shows us pretty and well lit chambers of her equaled and well lit house,
While the city burns down beneath us and I give her tongue;
All the prettiest of whores who are out tonight on the pretty terraplains
Blushing with hibiscus, asking for nothing but getting some.
