Of Underworld (1997)
The Don DeLillo 9/11 cover art
Was compelling to do
The entire read through
What does Underworld mean to,
That person who
Writes long books
That are not bad
From the art show in Arizona
Of war machines
With graffiti on them
To other scenes
Of underworld, USA
Like a Bronx TV
Of every Mystery
Of the Urban Blight
The endless electric twilight
The pool halls
And the corrections too
Where one learns words
From Jesuits through
Their methods in
Such kinds of education
That find their way in
Like to a child’s corrections
Facility
A three-year course
Of basketball and word study
A proper education or not at all
What is the underword
Of words in full
What are the forms of this books
In the Underworld by the way
How many forms
Of life do they
Recognize on their TV,
It was a nice Arizona story
