Retirement for Ghosts by Brian Michael Murphy

I invited Jefferson Thomas* to speak / at our school. Jefferson Thomas told his stomach, / “Be ready to eat bullets.” Jefferson Thomas / walked on concrete sidewalks like water. / Jefferson Thomas spoke and cured seventy six cases  / of ADHD for forty six minutes.

A woman read / my coffee cup / told me I’d find you / stubble of the Arab man /
