Tonight I spent an hour kicking around
A
would-be poem in which I put a few 
Winged
horses tiny as hummingbirds 
Springing
up to fly about my head you 
Were
suddenly in there too laughing 
And
the one you plucked from the air 
Whinnied
sweetly and I wrote I hid my 
Panic
with a smile oh on top of that was 
The
great cardiac arrest of sunset dying 
In
agony and the indigo fear of placid 
Shade
and other such labored phrases 
Vulgarity’s
not a substitute for wit but shit 
Who
writes like that good lord! still it’d be
Cool
wouldn’t it to catch a puny pegasus
