I have emotions

that are like newspapers that
     read themselves. 

I go for days at a time
trapped in the want ads. 

I feel as if I am an ad
for the sale of a haunted house: 

     18 rooms
     $37,000
     I’m yours
     ghosts and all. 

                    Tokyo
               June 2, 1976
