The Imperfect Sonnet

THE IMPERFECT SONNET
after Philip Whalen

"The person of whom you speak is a poet."

Where is the second crystal?

She left her garret with it in her satchel

Clack of heels on Prague's cobblestones

Now I want emeralds.

In the middle of the night—

The station lit with aqua lights

The hipster waits for the exchange

As a Louie Vuitton model

As Mikhail Baryshnikov

Say nothing of his scruffy cheeks

Nothing of his hooded eyes

A precious for the shisha

An emerald shisha! From Casablanca—

Property of Moroccan ministers

The better crystal is upstairs.
