What I’m doing now is write.
                                          —John Ashbery

A lot of coming
on this paper here.

India, Philadelphia,
Colorado, Los Angeles.

Fell on a dork.
Outside swishes

now smile, an acorn.
Is that your answer

ain’t funny.   Oh, but
I was so ready to leave,

to sleep.   To rap it, love.
.... Rapid love.

Wrap it up in a poetry
security.   Play with it

more (“...rampant ...rampart...”).
Came on the couch;

rabid come.   Calypsos,
what a trip!   Came

some more.   Collapses.
What an oaky mesh!
