Best Reproves Poems
Life's Balance SheetWhen the mind with numbers grappled
The heart with thoughts dabbled
When the eyes on the ledgers are fixed

in desperation for agriculture.
The cigarettes blister...

A Paradoxial ConceptSkyscrapers of glass
and steel with spiky spires rise
over the brick houses
covered by their wide shadows.
The powerful amber sun

Dada RascalsThe young generation shouts
“we don’t have a navel because we are descended from above.”
We have no way to measure their eccentric conduct
