Sonnet for the Man I Saw Jump from a Bridge in Japan, Who Was Just Like the One I Saw in San Francisco


Sonnet for the Man I Saw Jump from a Bridge in Japan, Who Was Just Like the One I Saw in San Francisco

A man in all black
jumped from a window
and busted his knee
in an ocean of regret

two places like s horse
from a plank like a hapless
pirate who didn't get points
except in his back and the sea

The fallen leaves
look like fallen rats
in gray lake morning
Sundays

when yachts are rented
for funerals and weddings.
