The Place I Used to Live Forever

 

      I used to find it funny, Chelsea boots,
           crushed velvet, leather pants,
      and one more payment always due—
           the false extravagance
      of day-job bohemia. I wore it well;
           I wore it with panache.
      I hoarded it like old LPs
           or a stoner’s secret stash.

      As tactics went, it wasn’t quite Sun Tzu—
           the archers faced the sun
      in a . . .
