Off you go then.
—John Ashbery
step out
for an
air cola
no hum
cucumber
just a
slight whip
gone a sec
not even
stilts
still
work
not a
flicker
look a
round
in gulf
around
three
dee
bubble
inna
middle
a now
a no
where
but finds
if some
sum
anybody
fine
stilts
atilt
awhirl
a whoosh
i wish
but not
a bit a
fog not
a bit a
pulse
save in
my inner
airy ear
a thump
with
out
a whir
a move
without
a groove
a mid-air
no air
nowhere
