Wonders of the World

you told me a story
over wrought
iron fences
bought with
the money
(accountant money)
that sent you
away to
Berkeley
about Chicago
and the second
city as a
metaphor
for Babylon
and you winked
self-conscious
and aware
in the ivy halls
and we didn't
believe in God or revenge.
I still read you
in all the books.
