Ness - by Richard Hugo

This is where those who hate monuments
pay last disrespects to the world. They've wrecked art,
cities, the language passed woman to man and back.
They've destroyed personal records, birth, school, marriage
and divorce. With luck they'll board a final ship
that flies a flag no color on earth.
They'll bribe the captain to destroy the record of death.
For them the horizon is a pass.
Beyond it the glamour and thrill of ignorant waste.

( And I'll be one of them, no shame )
