November 17—The Dow Closes Up 10437

Nothing grows in this pasture of starlight, not crow

nor bluejay lingers on the spot where a man was beaten

we could make a map, undertake a series of calculations,

“do something big for America,” consider

the greatest happiness for the greatest number,

a foundation for laws, a justice,

carve a little space on the sidewalk, pour concrete

10 books wide, tell the story

from pulpit to press, from parable to ordinance,

bless the weeds and honeysuckle fronting the fence.
