A Tale of Two Cities

...Asia at Her doors
 Heap their stores,
Though Her enterprise and energy secure
 Income sure,
Though "out-station orders punctually obeyed"
 Swell Her trade --
Still, for rule, administration, and the rest,

Another Song

...ot far from here, grown to fat 
and austerity, a man who came 
closely shaven to breakfast and ate 
in silence and left punctually, alone, 
for work. So it was I saw it all 
and turned away to where snow 
fell into snow and the wind spoke 
in the incomprehensible syllable 
of wind, and I could be anyone: 
a man whose life lay open before him, 
a book with no ending, a widow 
bearing white carnations at dusk 
to a hillside graveyard turned 
to blank rubble, a cinder floating

In California During the Gulf War

...es rusted by Christmas frosts,
the yards and hillsides exhausted by five years of drought,

Audits the accounts with Mister Sampson. 

He and impecunious Mister Sampson 
Are the mainstay of the Bogus Meetings; 
But the alienated Man of Business 
Cannot be allured by Kuno Meyer 
To attend and meet Profe...Read more of this...

The Great Adventure of Max Breuck

...hen he wondered how
Poor C. D. L. had come to die. "It's grown
Handy in killing, maybe, this I've bought,
And will work punctually." His sorrow fell
Upon his senses, shutting out all else.
Again he wept, and called, and blindly fought
The heavy miles away. "Christine. I'm well.
I'm coming. My Own Wife!" He lurched with 
failing pulse.

Along the dyke the keen air blew in gusts,
And grasses bent and wailed before the wind.
The Zuider Zee, which croons all night and thrusts
