When You Visit

Some day you will have to come visit.
I will take you around our little town
and show you the sights: the elephants
sleeping on the lawns, the peacock
we elected mayor, the large growth
Monroe Fish had removed from his neck.

You’ll stay with me of course
and I will prepare elaborate meals
of hot dogs and canned beans
and tell you exciting stories of
what has changed in our town:
your future here, should you decide

to stay, the way the women make love
night and day, the decline in the price
of a haircut, the annual redistribution
of wealth by firearm and how, all evidence
to the contrary, I really am the same man
you knew when you liked me better.
