street roots July 8, 2011 Shed Boy By L.E. Neilson tWÍH Hifit I’m living in the attic of an old woodshed an 8 x 12 cracker-box palace the size of a large closet I have an extension cord From a drug house like a long orange snake climbing the wall. .1 have no toilet, I piss in the bushes. I have no shower, I bathe in the river. I have a mattress on the floor with a sleeping bag. I am within walking distance of a library and the beer shops. I have rats in the walls and it’s a Mexican standoff between me and the ants Some days, they seem to be winning. Yesterday I ate tuna fish right out of the can with pepper today it will be crackers and peanut butter and a stolen apple. I kill two stones with one bird. Beautiful women come to see me some days and on the days they don’t, I write poems. The neighbors think I’m crazy, wishing I did not exist I play the Beatles and drink wine settle into a comfortable poverty, Another successful American poet.
