AVENGER’S ENDGAME

I am seeing Endgame,
thinking of Třebíč.
“It all ends here.”
We were in Třebíč
when the last Harry Potter came out.
We saw it in Czech in 3D
in the town’s only theatre.
Třebíč is very well preserved.
It’s a real town like so many
with a real Jewish cemetery.
They had a motorcycle convention
when we were in town in 2011.
Maybe the Travellers’ Inn is still there
by the bridge.

ENDGAME

I really love Iron Man.
He lives in a garbage can
with his wife the Black Widow.
They don’t wait for Godot,
they take notes from Ant-Man
and travel into the past quantum realm
to thwart the Big Evil.
Thor gets a beer belly from
thinking about this.

To keep a distance from fashion
I refuse to talk of May 4th.

ART TALK：FLASHING SKILLS

In literature,
honesty without being wooden
is hardest,
just like in life.
