the cheaper, the better


twelve seventy-five
will get you just enough time
to marvel
at the kind of labor force
it took to
keep chamber pots empty
for a family of six

that’s the twenty-minute tour

the fifteen dollar
price point
includes enough silence
to wonder
about the poor
who had no helpers
and no pot to piss in

that tour is called
The Common Tradition
