A Spring Piece Left In The Middle
Taut, thick fingers punch
the teeth of my typewriter.

Three words are down on paper
in capitals:
SPRING
SPRING
SPRING.
.
.

And me -- poet, proofreader,
the man who's forced to read
two thousand bad lines
every day
for two liras--
why,
since spring
has come, am I
still sitting here
like a ragged
black chair?
My head puts on its cap by itself,
I fly out of the printer's,
I'm on the street.

The lead dirt of the composing room
on my face,
seventy-five cents in my pocket.

SPRING IN THE AIR.
.
.


In the barbershops
they're powdering
the sallow cheeks
of the pariah of Publishers Row.

And in the store windows
three-color bookcovers
flash like sunstruck mirrors.

But me,
I don't have even a book of ABC's
that lives on this street
and carries my name on its door!
But what the hell.
.
.

I don't look back,
the lead dirt of the composing room
on my face,
seventy-five cents in my pocket,
SPRING IN THE AIR.
.
.


*

The piece got left in the middle.

It rained and swamped the lines.

But oh! what I would have written.
.
.

The starving writer sitting on his three-thousand-page
three-volume manuscript
wouldn't stare at the window of the kebab joint
but with his shining eyes would take
the Armenian bookseller's dark plump daughter by storm.
.
.

The sea would start smelling sweet.

Spring would rear up
like a sweating red mare
and, leaping onto its bare back,
I'd ride it
into the water.

Then
my typewriter would follow me
every step of the way.

I'd say:
"Oh, don't do it!
Leave me alone for an hour.
.
.
"
then
my head-my hair failing out--
would shout into the distance:
"I AM IN LOVE.
.
.
"

*

I'm twenty-seven,
she's seventeen.

"Blind Cupid,
lame Cupid,
both blind and lame Cupid
said, Love this girl,"
I was going to write;
I couldn't say it
but still can!
But if
it rained,
if the lines I wrote got swamped,
if I have twenty-five cents left in my pocket,
what the hell.
.
.

Hey, spring is here spring is here spring
spring is here!
My blood is budding inside me!
