Had I Only Two Days More
(A Meta-Poem)
I'd snatch you from Plato's arms,
Would take you, on Whitman's wings,
To a slaughterer gone mad
Over his canary's death*
To watch then in his mirror
'Caring' hands, a loving heart.

* See Shamlu's brief poem (in free verse):
A slaughterer was weeping.
He was in love with a little canary.
