POEM FOR HAITI RELIEF

Today
greasy rain pisses down
these inclined streets
cascading into the scurrying dissatisfied
San Francisco downtown.

This won’t help the homeless.
This won’t help the helpless.

Everybody hurts now in Haiti
yet bone china bone idol karaoke
won’t help either.

So allow yourselves a brief backpat,
overfed celebrity scum.

Those you attempt to aid
are already far too after-shocked
and numb.
