A poet in New York City sent me a hay(na)ku rant (that befits the times) after reading my and j/j hastain's the relational elations OF ORPHANED ALGEBRA. Of course I asked to reprint it, because I love how the hay(na)ku keeps dancing out there!
A SURVEY
By Iris Lee
Do
you own
your own home
or
are you
just a renter
or
do you
have a roommate
or
do you
live with family
even
though you’re
old for this
way
of living
but oh! finances
preclude
having your
own living space
one
more question
are you homeless
as
in having
less home than
every
human being
ought to have
perhaps
you sleep
in your car
but
if you
have no car
you
must sleep
in the subway
and
eat wherever
and shit wherever
thanks
for responding
to this questionnaire.
