    “Dear friend,
    I will have to sink with hundreds of others
    on a dumbwaiter into hell.

    I will enter death
    like someone’s lost optical lens.”

    “We are born with luck
    which is to say with gold in our mouth.
    As new and smooth as a grape,
    as pure as a pond in Alaska,
    as good as the stem of a green bean
    we are born and that ought to be enough....”
