Balloons

...ng up half the space,
Moving and rubbing on the silk

Invisible air drifts,
Giving a shriek and pop
When attacked, then scooting to rest, barely trembling.
Yellow cathead, blue fish ----
Such ***** moons we live with

Instead of dead furniture!
Straw mats, white walls
And these traveling
Globes of thin air, red, green,
Delighting

The heart like wishes or free
Peacocks blessing
Old ground with a feather
Beaten in starry metals.
Your small

Brother is making

If He Were Alive Today Mayhap Mr. Morgan Would Sit on the Midgets Lap

...ood-day;
The banker at Immigrant Savings
Cries Scusi! and Olé!
But I'd be a sleek Ferrari
Or perhaps a joggly jeep,
And scooting around at Bankers Trust,
Beep-beep, I'd go, beep-beep.

The trolley car used to say clang-clang
And the choo-choo said toot-toot,
But the beep of the banker at Bankers Trust
Is every bit as cute.
Miaow, says the cuddly kitten,
Baa, says the woolly sheep,
Oink, says the piggy-wiggy,
And the banker says beep-beep.

Hefts of the moving world, at innocent gambols, silently rising, freshly
 exuding,
Scooting obliquely high and low. 

Something I cannot see puts upward libidinous prongs; 
Seas of bright juice suffuse heaven. 

The earth by the sky staid with—the daily close of their junction; 
The heav’d challenge from the east that moment over my head;
The mocking taunt, See then whether you shall be master!

The Santa-Fe Trail (A Humoresque)

...wind-mills, taunting, ringing,
Dodge the cyclones, 
Count the milestones,
On through the ranges the prairie-dog tills—
Scooting past the cattle on the thousand hills. . . . 
Ho for the tear-horn, scare-horn, dare-horn, 
Ho for the gay -horn, bark -horn, bay -horn. 
Ho for Kansas, land that restores us 
When houses choke us, and great books bore us! 
Sunrise Kansas, harvester's Kansas,
A million men have found you before us.
