The Day I Consider Myself in My Minutiae


Tonight I'm so unsonorous and bereft even
Of one poetic thought or poem-worthy image
I have no quirkily melodic phrase in my ear
It just so happens that I’m tired of exuberantly
Fallen arches and the dark foundations
Of evening’s rhetorical hair entire histories
Tangled in that architecture O it just provokes
Uncontrolled ennui in me the stupefied clouds
The metaphysical meanwhile waiting always
In the fatuous face of the moon ha! that tired
Lyrical conceit how the bloated moon the moon
The moon illuminates these fragrant doubts
More mawkish even than my rancid silence
O rococo rapture to taste your champagne hair!
