Sometime shredded the yellowman past the waltz
screeches the whisperoad past the thronend of days
wasted by eagerage
Weird how the brain can disconnect on me....
Speaking of good poets who get no respect, here's some of one of my
faves...
Guess who and I'll give you a prize...
................................
Performances, assortments, resumes-
Up Times Square to Columbus Circle lights
Channel the congresses, nightly sessions,
Refractions of the thousand theatres, faces-
Mysterious kitchens....You shall search them all.
Someday by heart you'll learn each famous sight
And watch the curtain lift in hell's despite;
You'll find the garden in the third act dead,
Finger your knees-and whish yourself in bed
With tabloid crime-sheets perched in easy sight.
Then let you reach your hat
and go.
As usual, let you-also
walking down-exclaim
to twelve upward leaving
a subscription praise
for what time slays.
......Know who? I'll tell ya if you don't.
