Congratulations lady for the inconspicuously
Malodorous flowers of Chinese privet in your hair
It’s time my dear we take our place on a known
Scale
of things O it’s time we situate our distances
Within
such measures as we are wont to have in this
Great
communion of eyes closing as they watch us
We
who feel strangely anonymous and empty like
Two sparrows yes the heavy stones at the front door
The cypress planks put down against spring mud
Two sparrows yes the heavy stones at the front door
The cypress planks put down against spring mud
There
are no more paddle boats no transatlantic
Futurism
no horoscopes nor even brief similitudes
Yet we go down the levee nonetheless and see
Tugs push barges past Vicksburg it's true
We wait for us from
several points of view
