from Brendan Constantine is My Kind of Town I have your pen
left on the table
before three months in Istanbul You won’ t need it there
where for less than the price
of an American coffee Ten men
will write down
everything you say So be careful
what you say
You have the tendancy to go on Which we love
here in Los Angeles
But in Istanbul the extra three minutes
riffing on your favorite German director
could change history We don’ t want calls from the UN
You’ ll need to feed his cat
for an extra two years while we question him
about Klaus
and the boat. Stick to the bazaars
They’ re outside
You can get lost in the hookah options alone
Two years is too long
for a cat to go without food
