We fell into step with one another
And made meaning of an ease
Found faith in elegance
Saw significance in happenstance and circumstance
Poets forging senti-mental lines
With heavy rhyme

If we were free verse darling
Would you any idea
What words come next
And why they do

Just jumbled noise
The Cantos and Finnegans wake
And a million other drunken tags
Dreams interpreted

Nonsense imbued
Translated haikus
Ring crisp

They seem to glow so
Charged with meaning
Forget Christ on the cross
Show me another Chinese symbol
On a white boy’s arm

I think I’ll write in blank verse for a while.
Or in prose, at least until I can be sure I’m not just writing what comes next. And while I’m at it, could you make sure you call the landlord today?(Carl - 604 310 9032)
