749

two poems

adrift

a page is an idea

make my own waves

am decided to be

I am constantly making

work for myself

there's enough of everything

to begin

believing in this how-much

slave of a truth

I'm to be

so many marks

left under

gone

I must be making them now

the self

and its steam

runs out

hooray

merry go round

Senora pilasina

Voulez-vous le taximeter?

Le zionta su la seata

Tu la tu la tu la wa

-- Chaplin

who's spinning?

it's the leaf

down

twirl

it's stars

must be music

there are seasons and sun

run alongside

all the wheels in the world

mustn't go under

and why not this head?

today's the day inventing

somersault

(have a go at backwards)

in a particular nextness

the clock

and slosh

(pub full of goss)

drive around around

lion and the unicorn

must be

let's face the music

and dance

dance

let's face the music

and dance
