USES OF GREAT LITERATURE
USES OF GREAT LITERATURE
Bluebottle & I
share the same moment
. . .the same hour.
It keeps dive bombing me
like some crazy kamikaze.
It is a beautiful flying jewel
but I can't appreciate that
just now and enraged I
throw Proust at it.
The full weight of A LA RECHERCHE
DE TEMPS PERDU
thrown halfway across the room
brings it down with a bang and
it is no more.
"Heavy!" I praise the Proust.
Ten minutes later its brother
or its ghost
has returned with a vengeance.
"Don't look at me!" says the Proust
"I done my bit!"
I raise the book and
the bluebottle bolts.
Just the threat of the Proust
works just fine...this time.
