			WHERE

	    dazed and stumbling, that little black kid
	    with the lump on his haid seems not to see me

	    lead him back to the office, wipe away
	    tear-streaks, get an ice-cube on his lump
	    no last name

	    then walk to a house on the next block over
	    he's acting funny, we stop a lot and go
	    past cold buzzing streetlights and then

	    up creaky steps, no light behind the windows
	    the neighbors, all drawing the curtains
	    no light in the sky, now

	    and nobody home
