Guidance For The Blind
Virgil

Green bananas
 1
to yellow,
 2
soon the black
 3
of a negress
 4
who weeps for
 5
knowing only esperanto.
 6
 
 
Ignorant of which
 7
vote to cast,
 8
Voodoo St. Peter
 9
lays down its rifle
 10
and helps her—
 11
 
 
the ballot box's
 12
ashes divined.
 13
Trumpets sound
 14
from the lone
 15
broadcast tower.
