A Prophetic Aside (in Jest)
The only furniture is when I can’t.
The garage home fitted yesterday perfectly.
The irony is it just doesn’t stop there.
—John Ashbery
Oh, to be a flea,
stepped out of the
scene, or a fly, or
a guy like me, in
a topsy-turvy
world that isn’t
just tragic. That
maybe melts your
heart a little. That
could be now, if now
were not so ,,, now.
What I’m trying to
say is how deft
those now dead
old hands once
were. These?
Well. Can’t
you just imagine?
