A LITTLE CALLED KINGA
She lives as she lives and she lives and she is
And she is as and she is and as she is
She is wholly whole she is holy whole she is holy
And she and she and and she
She quotes quotable she lives fairly lives fairly well
And she loves all is all love is loved and loves well
She came by him by hum by human she came by
And she will as she will by will as she will
She flew up and flew by and flew out and over it
And she came by train as train has trains what was trains
She knew knowing too and knowing knowing who
And she what was she and she what was she she was she
She knew a little called Pauline a little called Pauline a little
And she wrote writing writ written she finished her poem.
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.
