In Memoriam of Whitney Adeniran
I only have a photograph left. A preserved moment in time To serve as a reminder of how things were When you and I were present. In Paradise, I can see your bright eyes. Every day when I awaken. I converse and embrace your photographs. I'm not sure how much. I mourn you being here. My spirit is always heavy, never stops. I...

Visited the Whitney
Visited the Whitney* For the Hoppers – what a treat! A gathering of works with which Few artists can compete. Yet in a separate little room A different treasure lay – A film of “Calder’s Circus” With its figures on display. For Alexander Calder, He of mostly-mobiles fame, Put together, out of wire, And deserving of acclaim Every animal and acrobat That we’d expect to see At a...

To Eric Whitney 1
*** What lies in this? Are my ears betraying me? My eyes? Is time betraying me that I have lived? Crazy creation, So noble while not young in vain, At times, shouts the right words In an ecumenical uproar. For whom? For the self? I would like to make the cut where you are, Look into the insane eyes, Not move a bit...

Get Thee To the Whitney
Get thee to the Whitney! It’s the one thing you should do If you’re in New York, to see The kitchen made by Liza Lou. It’s a life-sized recreation Of a room each person needs, But the fridge and stove and table Have been topped with shiny beads. Every detail’s been considered In constructing what you’d find In an average household’s kitchen And amazingly designed. There’s the...

Passing Through Town
Is there any place as lonely As a Lake Huron resort town In the off-season of mid-November? Sign outside the church reads THANK YOU! Its steeple a record player needle Set to the warped sky Barry Manilow ballads Hobbling from an A.M. station that’s all but given up It’s just me and a delivery truck On Route 23 Toddling along as a pair between Oscoda and...
