three stalks celery
a delicious red apple,

I read a newspaper, 
In it was half a column 
On a people starving and dying, 
The rest of it was : 
Photos, 
Crossword puzzle, 
And faded letters.

Stoked half-a-million squealing hogs
The canine corps
Knocked on her door
With countless tails like pollywogs . . . .

he mowed over me at least half a dozen times
when we played tackle football by the tracks today
“If you’re such a beast, run over there and stop that train!”

Fright In love is vain,
I dreaded to be a memory.
My Fall was tranquil, her Smile
impeccable, it rendered me poignant. 
Too stoned to worship her imperfections
a statue I became.
