“The Finale of Seem” (1)
2/6/35 4:57pm
“and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.”
<•>
Let X
(mark the spot)
Let X
be what it seems
Let X
be the finale,
the answer it seems
to be,
not the necessary one
you wish it to be,
but what be
seemly
the sense of The End,
the final descent,
the last landing
(or perhaps the first takeoff)
let it be,
be a finale,
Let X
be the finale,
Let Be
the answer it seems to be
let be
