a stripe for Rauschenberg is a stripe
for me / what’s more America
than a bucket of tools and a portrait
of Lincoln? A Deep South reliquary
plastering images of the old farmer, the shed and the carburetor
on a flat wall. Fix a wire-screen door down and
you’ve got a real piece
The door would even open to squeal if we would
Now the light blinks red and off / red
all over the empty taupe
before noon the pond is stillness
like always because "rock gardening"
is what you get
I am in America, to day Dallas. There is sun,
and breezes, breezy
young fuzzy sweaters
stamping up the steps of buildings
are my age. There are two packs
of cigarettes a day in coffee shops
and families with young children avoid them.
I am okay. I hate the young families
and nobody carries a copy of Louis Zukofsky.
He is one of the most influential poets of the 20th century who was, unfortunately, only ever read by poets.
