HEAR THEN
WHATEVER HE SAYS
Gunnery captain man-handled man floating
a'sea on a scape full of foam. Mentioned
meanings, still coming down : sirens off
the shore, lady-voices singing back.
-
There's a chorus of men delicately hanging :
from the banisters at the edge of the ship, they
look down with lascivious eyes. And only a
daughter without blood would know this.
-
I received a letter today from a friend in need.
He's desperate and screaming loud. I'd bend
down to help him but he won't take a hand.
Just rudeness. Just anger. I feel like Saul Bellow
here approaching Delmore Schwartz. That's a
poor analogy but I'll make it work. Read
Humboldt's Gift. I did; it works.
