Eat broken dreams
And water their tiresome sit-ups swimming
Go to town to do schoolwork arend go to town
For umbrellas of Scotch for 5 p.m. errands
At the state liquor store tiresome sit-ups
Swimming takes me to town for pushups
All right time and hunger and swimming pools
Which I get home and hunger and water
At the tiresome details to what ten towns
Run errands do pushups and swim
Lean and buff water $5 a fifth at the nearby
Municipal swimming unmoored like
A middle-aged man like me
Like jazz lots of Scotch too town
There are when I do arrange myself
To myself it was heart-breaking that pool which
I took with supper eating broken dreamers, dearest Jane
