FOUND POEMS AFTER READING THIS
I.
The Orchard is still white,
the President is seven.
It was absurd for a man
of his standing,
sitting down,
to be the subject of
such spite
behind green shutters.
Even George Douglas Brown
would gossip with Countesses,
before mixing a great cocktail
of his jealousy,
for the Provost.
II.
Anchored one end of
the great slaughter,
the Dinwiddie Colored Quartet
asked what precisely
a Dinwiddie was,
for they had never seen one.
III.
A doughy man from Saxony
avoids the sun
like Edison.
A grim mystic from Danzig,
sleeps the Empire
through his head.
He has an elaborate toothache,
and spits three times,
on his left.
They talk through an interpreter;
he says
his grandfather never existed.
IV.
Okay,
that’s quite enough of this nonsense.
But do read the article.
