The sun is burning a hole in your pocket
and though very slowly you are making
the tides turn it is a sunny day
and everything burns
today goes very fast
you might make it rain
or intuit another bearing the mark of Cain
you see lips and a weeping black rose
in each of the god's eyes
no matter
it is a day of aces and dancing dogs

or pedestrian crossings

have no need to learn French

How many times do

How long do you think it will take
before people will be reading poems
rather than newspapers?

The artist's lot: to flounce about the countryside

Like a dog.
