THE CLONE; THE FUSE; AND SISTER DINAH MIGHT, a painting by Donald Roller Wilson

THE CLONE; THE FUSE; AND SISTER DINAH MIGHT

ON YERBA BUENA ISLAND
(WHERE THE GOLDEN GATE HAD BEEN)
BEFORE THE SILVER TUBE HAD LANDED IN THE NIGHT,
OUR HEAD OF STATE WAS HANGING
AS A DRY BONE—GONE TO SEED;
IT HUNG BESIDE THE HEAD OF SISTER DINAH MIGHT

          Donald Roller Wilson, 1978
